I too take Trazodone for sleep, at least I did but now going back on it.
I fell and broke an ankle, had surgery and was taken off 300 mg of trazodone cold turkey. I am also manic bi-polar and without help I can stay up for days and clean and clean and clean and .....well you get the point. Tonight I will be taking 50mg <100 snapped in two> and slowly work back up to ONLY 100mg at a time. If that does not suffice I will ask my doctor to change me to something else.
PLEASE be careful with this medication and follow the direction to the T.
I am looking forward to sleeping tonight. Good luck to you Blondell.

Trazodone 50 mg is a questionable anti depressant in my opinion they should tell their patients that and let them decide if they want to take it to help with insomnia. I wish my prescriber told me that it wasn't a sleeping pill. I would have taken melatonon or ambiem. Ambiem is for sleeping only less side effects. Even if you have one good night sleep per week with Ambiem it's better than taking this trazodone garbage.

I totally agree that it would have been nice to know before I took trazadone that it was a anti depressant, The doctor that prescribed it for me did not tell me it was for depression. Yes, I should have checked it out before I took it for sleep problems, that was my bad, But if he would have informed me about it, I would of at least had the opportunity to ask for something else. I trust that my doctor would inform me of such things. Since then, I ask about the medications I am prescribed. Sometimes the doctor is annoyed that I ask so many questions about my meds!! But if I dont ask, Who will??

I just started to take this medication and found it kind of hard to stick with since ia'm not used to taking meds, so i began to extercise instead and that has helped me sleep better at night. NO MEDS.. YA!

I have been on trazodone for months and take it faithfully 30 minutes before I go to bed. I had problems sleeping - couldnt shut my mind off. These help tremendously - I would recommend it to anyone. Half an hour and you are out like a light and sleep ALL night!

I've been on trazodone off and on for about 4 years and lately been on em for 3 months...wanting to ween myself off em but after hearing your story Im terrified to stop taking them because I can't function without sleep...do I cut down the dosage until im used to it or quit cold turkey like you did and suffer for a week or so?
