User Reviews for trazodone oral

I take 25-50 mg to help with sleep. My doctor says this is an extremely safe medication, so I'm very happy with it.

I've been taking 100mg of this medication at night for about 1 yr. for restless leg syndrome. It also helped with anxiety attacks and depression. I'm not feeling well lately and I believe I may need to get off the meds for awhile. Lots of headaches and dizzyness.

I take my dose and wait 20 min. or so until I feel it coming on, then it puts me to sleep very well and quickly. I feel taking it and going right to bed is not as effective as waiting till you feel results, regaurdless of what my doctor says. Don't wait too long to go to bed though, when you feel a little light headed, lay down immediatly. If you wait too long it feels like it is not as effective, plus you don't want to be walking all around a little dizzy like/light headed. I take my dose and maybe watch tv, as soon as I feel it working, go to bed and you should fall asleep pretty quickly. I also don't feel it's addictive, I have skipped days here and there and no side effects. Good luck! Read More Read Less

puts me to sleep, I do have insomnia, stopped taking it for a week recently and tried over the counter sleeping pills, didnt work well caused daily anxiety, back to trazodone now, feel content in my shell

Before my Dr. put me on this med., I was on Celexa. On the Celexa, my depression got worse, I was not sleeping and started sleepwalking. I tried to stop myself which was a major mistake. After talking to my doctor, she put me on trazodon. After only four days, I couldn't belive how much better I felt. I started feeling like myself again. I have gotton my energy back and my smile. This med. gives me night sweats and very strange dreams, but I will take sweating and dreaming weird stuff over feeling the way I felt before the trazodon. I am feeling happy again. I wish my Dr. started me out on this first, but I am happy to be here now.Read More Read Less

A higher degree of anxiety was causing wakefulness around 3AM for at least 30 min. Some nights I sleep through. Taking more than 200mg. caused groggy mornings so I stick to 200mg at bedtime.

I needed this medicine to help me sleep at night. I had extreme anxiety at night. The problem stopped when taking this medicine.

Thoughts of suicide more severe

worked for me at the beginning..then i would wake up..dr increased to 300 mg a night... after taking i get the munchies and then start to feel really loopy.. have fallen and hurt self because it hit hard before i could get to bed... then i wake up 2to 4 hours later, then not able to fall beack asleep... overall not working for me

this has worked for me i slept very good for 7 hours woke up refreshed..surprised never heard of this drug

I use Trazadone to help me sleep, when I need to and my boyfriends Dr. has prescribed it to him as well, since it is effective for him when he needs something to help him sleep. I have been using it for 5 years without any issues.

I take it for IBS and it seems to be working :)

I take 300 mgl Wellbutrin xl daily for depression and take 150 mgl of Trazadone for sleeping. I pass out within 15 min, especially if I eat something, I sleep soundly through out night. Best sleep I have ever had.

Takes awhile to kick it, but once it does you're out. Which is hard because it takes so long that you want to take awhile before bed but you want to be in bed when it actually starts working- so it require some planning. Also sleep doesn't consistantly last, and you do not feel refreshed in the morning.

I take this for depression and insomnia. It works very well for both conditions (150mg before bed) The only adverse effect I have is constipation. I have taken this medicine before and requested it from my Dr.

When I am physically exhausted and try to sleep, my brain wants to stay awake and keep the thought process going. By taking trazodone 30-60 minutes before bedtime, I am usually able to fall asleep within 30 minutes of laying down to sleep. Using trazodone has been very helpful.

I would walk around during the day so tired I could not function. This drug is a lifesaver.
