I've been on 150 MG's of trazadone for 11 years. I've been having problems lately so the doctor told me to stop completely and put me on klonopin. Its been 2 days now and I am nervous and dizzy. I'm wondering if I take a tiny piece of trazadone if that will help me. Will it hurt me because of the klonopin? Please help.

Was not smart to take trazodone, could have been alright without it. Doc did not tell me anthing. It's awful because I have not slept (insomnia) suffering is horrible. Mind won't go to sleep and unable to function normally. Can't remember how long but wished I'd never taken it. Doctor not helping and others think you have other mental problems and you just want to sleep every night. Don't know how long I can live like this. Anybody suffering like me? Please help.

Can't remember when I first took trazodone but it never really did any good for sleeping. I stop taking it because I ended up not sleeping and now suffers with chronic sleepless night and other horrible symptoms. It's trousours! Don't take this stuff. No one understands or believe me and think I can just snap right out of this. If I get any sleep, it's most be less than a hour and I'm not myself and don't know if I'm going to last because I'm not functioning with my life and people notice and have prayed for me. I got this way as a result of stopping the trazodone because it first stop working and this is unreal. I don't know if anybody else is like this in the world. I don't wanna drive and it has robbed me of my life and people are tired of me and no Doctor is helping.

How are you doing now? I am dealing with the same thing and I got off of the benzo and ambien and felt pretty bad, but immediately after taking my last trazadone I began to feel sweaty, disoriented and suffered from crying jags and so many other physical and psychological symptoms that I cannot believe could be attributed to trazadone withdrawal! I have been on Trazodone the longest but I didn't realize just how hard t would be to come off of it!! I'd love to hear how you are doing now! Thanks!

There are many natural products that help with sleep. Melatonin, L- Triptophan, & Valarian root are all natural herbal sleep aids. There is even at least one remedy I've seen combines two of these. Be very careful to research well because combining this natural stuff can be dangerous. Also there is a product by Hyland called Calms Forte which has some excellent reviews. Check Vitamin Shoppe online for other products for insomnia and stress. I have recently been healed of a lifetime of Bipolar disorder! JESUS HEALS... Sometimes using meds (for almost 30 years) but I am now practically med free. NO MORE Effexor, Trazadone or Topamax. Discontinued Effexor & Topamax more than 3 months ago. DO NOT DISCONTINUE WITHOUT DR.'s ASSISTANCE. I had tried to responsibly come off meds 2 or 3 times over that time, but my healing was not complete...UNTIL NOW!!! I have recently discontinued Trazadone (abt 3 weeks ago) & have been experiencing trouble sleeping and an uncomfortable jittery feeling in the pit of my stomach(maybe anxiety)... but that's never been my problem. I'm also having a rare symtom that women can get from either discontinuing SSRI's or using Trazadone. I am trying to find the exact right product for myself. At nite I take magnesium Melatonin & a very low dose of a mild tranquillizer. BUT I don't want to take ANY meds ANYMORE. Has anyone ever had this jittery thing??? MAY GOD BLESS US ALL WHILE TRYING TO BREAK FREE OF THESE DRUGS (How wonderful they are when needed but how amazing to be able to live healthfully without them!)!!!

ME TOO!!! A few times/night. I'm trying to stop drinking liquids in the evening. But I also get leg cramps...which drinking quinine water helps. I'm going to try a natural remedy Hyland's Leg Cramp. Does anyone else have leg cramps after stopping Trazadone???

I have just weaned off Trazadone, went from 100 to 75 to 50 with minor issues for a few days with each decrease. The decrease to 25 was the worse, cold, clammy, hot flashes....but after a month I was good. Then I went to 12.5, for 4 days, felt the above symptoms and then have been off all for 2 days. Sleep is poor, feel generally yucky..I wonder how long before I feel good again????

Hi i am trying to get off trazodone, i'm down to 50mg on 4th night but think i went down to every 4th night to quick as the last 2days i have felt awlful so tired not sleeping properly at night and a bit shakey. Do you think going back on to every 3rd night would be ok to deal with or should i persist now with every 4th as done it twice now.
