I did not use this much, I decided 4-5 hours of sleep I was able to get on my own were ok. When I took this medication I would sleep 10-12 hours, no one has time for that. I was on the lowest dose.

I am on 50mg of this medication for insomnia. It helps me fall asleep and stay asleep, it also helps calm me at night and not wake up anxious.
The only complaint I have is the nightmares I have sometimes they are very realistic and horrible.

I have been taking this for years for anxiety and I feel it worked well. Until about 2-3 tears ago I started getting depressed , have been falling deaper very fast the past 1+ years. I am seeing help now for 3 months. Trying to stay positive but some times it is just to hard to fight it. Thank you for letting me share😊

I've taken this for sleep for the last 18 years. It helps put you to sleep but not very good at sustaining sleep. You must be ready to go to sleep or you can overcome its effect and get pretty excitable.
I use in combination with Klonopin and Prazocin to get the sleep I need.

I was prescribed this for insomnia after melatonin alone did not work and the doctor wanted to use something more long-term than a hypnotic z-drug. At 50 mg, trazodone made me tired at night when combined with 5 mg melatonin. It was not too effective on its own. For the first two weeks, I got REALLY hungry at night after taking this and ate a whole bunch of food in my bed. This went away after a couple weeks. It also was difficult to wake up in the morning for the first few weeks; this became easier over time.

Not effective, but I was put on this mistakenly under the impression I had Major Depressive Disorder when my diagnosis turned out to be Bipolar I. Without an accompanying mood stabilizer this medication made my symptoms worse.

I've recently been put on Trazodone and from what I can tell thus far, it'll be an okay medication for me to be on. I'm taking it for insomnia (along with Ambien) and it seems to also have some kind of effect on my depressive episodes; not much of an effect, but I think I can feel something. The first time I took it, I literally slept for roughly 12 hours; but now I can sleep for about 7 hours, but not always. I've noticed that my memory has gotten a bit worse though. If you wake up before 7 or so hours, you can have some memory lose, which is what's happening with me. So I'm probably going to go back to my pdoc when I can. But overall, it's an okay medication.

I take Trazodone to help me sleep. I have depression-related insomnia. If I can't get the pill to go down just right then it sticks on my tongue or the back of my throat and tastes terrible, making me gag and feel like vomiting. Hard to get the taste out.

I have been taking 200 mg of Trazadone at night for over 15 years without any noticeable side effects. I am very please with the fact that it allows me to get at least 7 - 8 hours of sleep per night without any significant morning hangover. I have read the others' posts and am reminded that each of us can have a very unique reaction to the same medication. Some good; some not so good.

It helped me sleep, but didn't knock me out or have a drugged feeling such as some people have told me they experienced. I was thankful for it!

I have been taking trazadone for over 4 years and it has been a God send. Before trazadone I can't remember ever getting a good nights sleep, but with it I sleep wonderfully, unless the dog wakes me up,with no side effects.

I found that it really helped me fall asleep quickly and stay asleep throughout the night. Lunesta and Ambien do not work for me however Trazodone does the trick. The only downside is that it causes me to have very strange and crazy dreams. Some of my friends whom have also taken it have also noted that it caused them to have weird dreams too.

I found Trazodone helped me sleep tremendously. It did make me feel very dizzy and slightly disorientated but this wears off after about 45 mins. It also causes a rather unpleasant nasal 'blocked' feeling, this is bearable though. It is very good for anxiety, I felt quite 'chilled' and calm, my mood felt considerably better though in a relaxed state, no 'hyper' feeling. Maybe best for short-term sleeping problems or extreme anxiety. No sexual side effects (female), slightly increased appetite and minor weight gain (but this was only due to fluid retention). Some 'hangover' tiredness next day. I assume this would lessen with further use.

Trazodone is excellent for insomniacs. Knocks you out in 20 minutes or less. Hard to wake in the am but once you do, you feel well rested. It also works will with other antidepressants like Zoloft. Watch out for mild mania. Mood stabilizers necessary for Bipolaroids taking Trazodone.

After trying every sleep med known to humankind, Traz hit the spot. It did lower my blood pressure & I briefly went off it & back on Lunesta. Bye-bye sleep! I decided to take the side effect (I sometimes feel "swimmy" & when I do, I just pause and let my heartbeat settle) without hesitation when the docs said it was ok to take Traz if I wanted. I only need to take 12.5 mg a night.

Trazadone also known as desyrel, had the same effects. The worse part was the dizziness caused by an extreme drop in blood pressure. Along with that came sleepiness & migraine headache pain. The blood pressure drop was the most serious part of taking the med & taking it was immediately stopped.

I have been using Trazodone for over 5 years. I take it at bedtime to help me stay asleep, and the doctor prescribed it as a sleep medication... however, it has also helped by keeping my mild depression away. Other anti-depressants were always too strong for my mild depression, but Trazodone has worked great for the mild depression and as an aid to help me sleep.

I was prescribed this medicine to help me sleep a number of years ago. It works very well for me used in this way, I sleep 7 - 8 hours a night. When I first started taking it, however, I felt intoxicated when I awoke. This went away after a week or two. I tolerated it because I was finally getting rest again.
