User Reviews for trazodone oral

This medication was terrible for me. It increased my tinnitus volumn, I broke out in a horrible rash. It made me feet like I had the flu. I will never us this again! Just read all of the severe warning. Enough said.

Works pretty good for Narcolepsy. I find that taking it in a dose divied by one at bed time and one about 3 hours later when I wake up.

Even though this medication is prescribed for sleep I do not get what I consider to be full benefit from this drug. It still takes 2-3 hours for me to fall asleep and I only sleep about 5 hours total. This is in spite of the dosage being raised several times.

Finding the right doseage is the key to using this. Most use 50mg or 100mg but I've found that 150mg gives me a great restful sleep of at least 8 hours. Thus far, I have had no serious side effects.

Started this drug after someone broke in to my home while I slept and attempted rape. Been on the drug about 15 years and recently tried to wean off just to see if I could sleep without it. I did not consider myself depressed but got depressed and had horrible nights of NO sleep after not taking it for two weeks. Am back on it now, 150 mg. nightly, and feel much better. Still have trouble "turning my brain off" at night, but once I do get to sleep, I stay asleep all night. Best drug I have ever taken for sleep. Read More Read Less

i have been taking 50mg a night for 2 weeks and it is not doing anything to help me fall asleep. I will take it and lay in bed for hours before I finally drift off to sleep. Going to give it another 2 weeks because it can take up to 4 weeks to be fully in your system. That's when you know whether you are going to benefit from the medication or not. So far it has been a NOT.

my doctor has me on 1/2 50mg tablet per night.i found it didn,t work at all. not even when i took 1 whole tablet. not happy withit at all.

I've only been using 50mg for 4 days now, but it takes a long while to kick in (2-4hrs) and then leaves me very groggy all day. I've tried taking it at 10 pm, but didn't kick in until 2 am, take at 1:30 am, not kicking in until 4:30 am. Then I sleep till 9 or 10 am, but can't wake up enough to get up, so fall back asleep immediately and sleep till 12 to 1 pm. Get up to eat something, but groggy again around 3 or 4 pm. Will then sleep till 6 or 7 pm. Am going to call dr. Instead of falling asleep but not staying asleep, now I'm not falling asleep but staying asleep too much! My quality of sleep is much improved though.Read More Read Less

My depression has disipated somewhat, however my speech has become a bit slurred and I am having difficulty finding words. It has been four wks. and I have never experienced side affects like this with other antidepressents

I was given Trazadone to help quiet the voices in my head that kept me in a perpetual state of depression.The results were immediateand have had no complications or weird side-effects while using it, either.I have been taking Trazadone nightly,now for 6 years and can't imagine living without it.

Have used for over 3 years and find it very helpful for chronic insomnia. No after effects and no drowsy wake up. It continues to work after years.

Had trouble sleeping, and now not at all.

has opposite effect, was like taking some sort of diet pill

My nights of sleeplessness are now a distant memory!!!!!!!

THE DRUG HAD THE REVERSE EFFECT ON ME--I WAS AWAKE ALL NIGHT!!!!

This is the only thing that helps me get to sleep and stay asleep. It is great to have a full nights sleep again!!!

Before taking this my daughter would often be very restless and unable to sleep at night. She is ADHD and on meds for that. She now can fall asleep faster and has less restless nights.
