hi - i take 50 mgs. at night for sleep. It helps and i don't feel drugged up in the morning.
I would not take it during the day.

thanks, simby! I was just reading where someone got severe headaches from it. i tried it years ago and as i recall it did the same to me. Do you think if i try it again and cut the dose, that it won't be so bad? did you get headaches when you first started?

Trazodone works well for me for sleep also. 50 mg half an hour before laying down. I also wouldn't take it during the day.

I am on Lexapro, and because of that I have insomnia. The doc gave me Trazodone to take "as needed". I've only used it once (50 mg), and it didn't work as I expected. Took a few hours to get to sleep, and then I was a bit of a zombie the next day. Next time I think I'll take 25mg earlier in the evening.

I was told by pdoc that this med can be used during the day ( a small amount)---but do NOT drive!!!

Thanks for bring this topic up. I too, could use info on Trazodone too.
