I was just given Trazodone for sleep... she jusr started 100g. I was told to take it 1 hour before..

I have been on trazodone 150 mg for many years 10 +, it does help with my sleep, I do not know if it helps with my MDD, anxiety or panic attacks, I am currently on Prozac 40mg and Xanax for that. I only take trazodone for my sleep, without it I would not be sleeping at all. I do take it with food, have a cracker or two, before I take it, I think that helps, I take it about 1 hour before I want to sleep. I do not have side effects the next day. I understand all drugs may increase your risk for other problems. But we all need our sleep without a good nights sleep we will not last too long.. Everyone responds to drugs differently, unfortunately, I hope this information helps, and I hope it helps you also.

It definitely helps me to go to sleep, I love that about it. But, now after reading some articles about Trazodone (as it could possibly cause heart problems) I try not to take it. But, if I have to, I can take 50 mg and fall asleep, as time goes on & I take it every night, I have to go up to 100 mg because 50 mg won't work anymore. Then I will eventually stop them for awhile. They make me very tired the next day
which is another reason I don't like to take them. I hope my answer is what you were looking for.

I take 200 MG at night 20 min before I sleep at 10:30. If I take less I can't fall back to sleep at 3am.
