Trazodone

I was on this and seroquel. So, I was really groggy. I am not sure what was causing it. So, I am not sure what to think about it yet. I have been on it for years. I will only know when I come off of it.

This drug was a god send. I have fibromyligia, and many sufferers of fibro have a problem getting ANY sleep. The neurons in the brain keep firing off and will never let you into stage 4 sleep. You lie in a twilight sleep every night until your bags are down to your knees. The doctors tried several drugs before this one, and not a single one ever worked until I started this one about 10 years ago. The only thing people tend to forget is, YOU MUST HAVE TIME TO SLEEP 8 HOURS. Anything thing less, and you can be groggy and irritable in the morning and brain fog all day. Without this medication I would not be able to function at all. I have taken drug holidays from time to time, and by the 3rd day I am always a zombie.

Taken 1/2 hour before you go to bed, lets me get to sleep and stay asleep to wake up refreshed.

Must have 8 hours of sleep, otherwise very groggy next day

very powerful,even if taken early at night

it put me sleep

it works too well, it caused me to sleep too hard to where I could not hear anything causing me to be late waking to get my daughter ready for school. made me irratable before I even woke up.

This drug works when prescribed in an appropriate manner by the right medical professional. I have a pet peeve about well meaning family docs who prescribe this stuff. I have odd shaped little 150mg pills that can be taken whole, half or in thirds. I can take 1/2 to 2 tabs at bedtime if needed. Last I checked it was available only in 50mg,100mg,150mg, and 300mg tabletlets. It does not necessarily work right away. Like some drugs it might take a few weeks to work right.

It is not expensive. It normally works taken under the right conditions for the right reasons.

If you take it too late in the day you may wake up fuzzy headed. This is a potent drug and unless you really have some heavy duty issues sleep wise…make the family doc prescribe something else.

Dr started me out on 450mg. thought it was a mistake and ask was told it was standard pers. took it one time at that dosage was as drunk as if I had drunk a fifth of liquor and as sick as a dog. Cut it in half next night not much better so out it went will never take the drug again.

none

will make you sick and drunk

Has worked for me but problems ensused
for me after taking for awhile. I couldn't walk very well and started walking into wall, etc. I had to get off of Trazadone.

Checked into my Nursing PDR and found side effects were walking difficulty and pain in joints. Doctor also checked her PDR. and took me off them.
But I haven't slept well since being off Trazodone.

I am currently on trazodone and have had a pretty good success rate with it. At times I need to up the dosage, but in general it works.

Fairly effective. Helps me stay asleep.

Sometimes I need to take a higher dose for it to work.

doesn't work for me for sleep, but…

good for those marathon sessions!!! :)

don't help me sleep at all

I am currently taking Trazodone to help me sleep. It works great, don't know what I would do without it!

works great, inexpensive

was on it for many moths to help with insomnia was taking 300mg a night and had no effect what so ever

I have been on this for the past 2 years and it seems to be the only medicine that makes me sleep through most of the night.

Gives me a full night of sleep.

It kicks in very quickly, I have to take it RIGHT before bed.

I took this for sleep for a while. I unfortunatly developed something called priapisim which is rare in people who take this. I always felt good when I woke up the next morning since this is a antidepressant that also acts as a hypnotic.

This is a heavy duty psychotropic drug that has in the past been used in institutions to control patients.

None for me

All I can say is be careful. There are better newer meds out there that your doctor can use.

I've been on it for areally long time. They just figured out that i need 300mg's for me to sleep, no more no less mgs. Exactly 300

Let's me sleep all night without waking up

I have a hard time waking up in the morning. Usually doesn't wear off until 1:00 or 2:00 most days,

I have been taking it for about a year, at first it stopped my thoughts from racing and preventing sleep, but lately I think I need my Dr. to increase my dosage.

Lets me sleep through the night and I don't feel "hungover" in the morning.

For me I am afraid my body is becoming somewhat immune to it.

Trazadone works for lots of people but not for me. I have to use Vistril and Haldol. That is because I am BiPolar.

I have been taking Trazodone for about 7 years.

It gives me a restful nights sleep.

it let me sleep

i was able to sleep throughout the night.

would make me sleep for 14-16 hours and feel like a zombie when I finally awoke

The time I posted was 9:15 they posted it at 1:15am I'm in Georgia, USA I don't know where they are. LOL Wonder what time this will say. It's 9:20pm now.

I could always go to sleep,but I'd aake and couldn't go back to sleep. It's not habit forming like others. Works for me ! Dosey
