Re: thanks and new question Trazodone/sleep?

[Guest guest]

dear Becky,

good morning . I just got prescribed trazadone also. I am hesitant to put

more drugs on top of drugs ..but I have bad insomnia. They recomended I

take 50 mg... apprehensive.. I tried 25 mg the other night. I was up all

night. It had no effect. I may try the 50 mg dose tonight as this cannot

go on. I will let you know. FYI I am up and down 10 times a night and

then wake up at about 4 am. ..and the strange thing is I am not a morning

person.

Thanks all who responded to my sleep issues and I like your ideas.

I think I'll try to get a tape of music that may help me drop off to

sleep.

Also I have a question about the drug trazodone. My pdoc want me to

try it for sleep. since I keep waking up like at 3am or so. and

can't get back to sleep.

I take lexapro during the day and klonopin at night. for anxiety.

Have any of you tried trazodaone and what has been your experience?

the doc says it will make me groggy. Anyway would like to hear from

as many as have been in this boat .

Thanks

Hi ,

I am sooo sorry you have not slept in 4 days. Are you going to cal

the doc. to see if something better would work for you. I know the

drugs affect us all different. What drugs are you taking? Lexapro?

or klonopin?? anything else to control anxiety and help you to sleep.

When I first got diagnosed with GAD they put me on klonopin and it

really relax me and helped me to sleep.

Sometimes when I'm taking some new medication it makes me nervous as

to how my body will react to it, so I'm awake all night afraid that

I'll have a bad reaction.
