I went to see my dr. today re: my anxiety and he gave me a prescription for a sleeping pill (it's also an anti-depressant) called trazodone. I usually only get a couple hours of sleep a night, and my dr. feels that insomnia is contributing to my anxiety. Has anyone tried this med? I'm a little bit afraid to take a sleeping pill. I read the side effects and they really scared me.
dont let the side effects scare you there is side effects to every med... when you start them you wont worry about the side effects.. all you got to watch out for is finding it hard to breath and a rash.. that is all the danger signs you got to watch for.. just start them your doc wouldnt of given them to you otherwise.. and dont read to much on them as that will just contribuate to your anxiety
i've taken trazodone and it was okay. however since i needed it nightly it only worked a couple of weeks for me. take it half an hour before bed and you'll be out for at least 4 hours of solid sleep.
I've been given Trazodone "as needed" for sleep, but the pdoc said I could also take it for anxiety on an "as needed" basis. For anxiety, it would be a smaller dosage than for sleep. However, no driving while on this drug.
Has anyone used Trazodone for anxiety during the day?
I take Trazy only at night since I don't see how you could function on it during the day. I was wondering about any other meds to take for help in sleeping/anxiety?
