Trazodone

[Kaizen1]

I’m trying trazodone for insomnia. Originally NP prescribed mirtazapine but I never took it because I was fearful of side effects. Heard good things about trazodone and also good for people with sleep apnea. So far it’s just been 5 days and I’m on 25 mg, to start, which is half the lowest 50 mg pill dose. Dr said to increase to 50mg when I’m ready.

Trazadone works well for me. No weird side effects, except there is a drowsy hangover.

It worked well for me at lower doses. The higher of dose, over 50mg, then I started having weird dreams and I felt like I was not getting deep sleep. Really groggy. I was taking it for insomnia related to anxiety. Eventually after getting a few months of “normal” sleep and some better exercise, I switched to Tranquil Sleep that I still use today. Tranquil Sleep is OTC.
