I have insomnia and can't sleep without a sleeping pill. I'm also an addict so I'm not allowed any strong narcotics. Trazodone has worked very well for me. I've been taking it for over a year now. I started at 100mg and am now up to the max of 300mg/night. I will have to find another pill once this starts to become ineffective. But it puts me to sleep nicely and I don't feel anything linger the ne...
I have terrible insomnia and always searching for something to help me with this. I have tried this several times over the course of a year and did not like the way it made me feel the next day. Also did nothing for my sleep. Thought I would try it again one last time to see if it would be different this time. No. Couldn't sleep and next day I felt like I had a terrible hangover all day. I had no ...

This drug has allowed me to fall asleep confidently and quickly with no side effects. I take half a pill 30 minutes before bedtime and it works like a charm. I wake up refreshed. I was prescribed one pill, but that was a little too much and I felt groggy the next day. I backed down to a half and I was not groggy the next day and still fell asleep fast and stayed asleep. I would definitely recommend to anyone having trouble falling and staying to sleep.

Best sleeping pill I ever used, used to take work to bed, couldn't sleep, maybe a couple of hours at night. With Trazodone I get a full nights sleep hardly remmeber dreams, great drug.

I experienced a side effect of extreme dizziness and nausea within 30 mins of taking one pill. Did not work for me.

I take this to help me sleep. It causes me to have restlessness for about an hour. And I am now taking 1 1/2 pills to get to sleep.

I began using this drug about six months ago and for sleep it at first worked great. But I noticed at times if I napped during the day It would make me twitch and very restless at bedtime. I take pain meds for arthritis and if I don't need them I also have trouble sleepng. If I'm out in the sun for a day, I'm also reestless. Not so great - I'm going back to Benedryl.

I was given this medication for cocaine withdrawl symptoms. It seems to be helpful. I have been on this medication for over a year and I think it has been great.

I used 50mg tabs for one month. Sometimes it would put me right to sleep, while other times i would take up to 3 at a time and be up for 5-6 more hours.

I have been taking trazodone for many years and it was always effective. However, lately I 've been taking more than prescribed and I'm feeling very sick. What should I do?
