Trazodone for Sleep

by vastr8fit, Aug 09, 2009 08:45PM

I have recently been prescribed 50-100mg of trazodone at night for sleep, but I was wondering if the anti-depressant effects are lasting? Will the serotonin regulation last through the day?

Trazodone is great for sleep without giving you a hangover like a lot of meds. I don't know the 1/2 life off the top of my head. Are you wondering because of side effects or think you may need more?

Hope I can help

I am taking Trazadone for sleep as well the dosage has just been raised to 100mg at night. I was taking the 50mg tab and it did not keep me asleep. So far the 100mg tab is doing okay.
