Who has used Trazadone during a Cycle for Sleep?

[doublebicep]

I was wondering, what are some of the experiences are with using trazadone to combat insomnia during cycle?

Also, how did you dose it? Mine come in 150mg tabs.

Should I start with 50mg and work my way up? What works best?

oh man, trazadone, a couple years ago i had depression and i took this at night along with wellbutrin during the day. the traz knocked me out and made me feel pretty shitty in the morning. i would go with ambien personally

Trazodone works great for knocking you out. 50mg should do the trick. You will feel like you got hit in the head with a hammer the next morning.

agree

I took trazodone for the last several months because the evil paxil which my doctor prescribed wouldn't let me sleep. Anyway, trazodone was pretty effective for sleep, its not like ambien or a benzo like xanax, it just makes you really groggy. It does have the negative effect of a bad hangover the next day, makes it tough to get up in the morning. If I were doing a workout in the morning, I'd advise some kind of stimulant in the morning about 45 minutes prior...thats if you even feel like it after the trazodone.

I prefer seroquel, but start with 25-50 mgs trazadone

thanks all...I was planing on starting at 50MG around 8PM so hopefully I will not be to groggy in the morning.

i found that trazadone made me groggy and super lazy, but didnt really help me to sleep. You will also build up a tolerance eventually.
i dont recall having any paticular problems waking up in the morning, but it was a while ago

With all the meds i'm on I find it troubling to wind down after a long day (but my workout days help). I take trazdone, but cut them in half to 25 MG. Works well for me! Thanks!
