Positive experiences
“I take 1/3 of a serving/dose of Om Sleep and 50mg of trazodone and caps of Tart cherry. The traz gets me to sleep, and the Om keeps me asleep.”
“One that I found particularly useful in this regard, that is also known for not causing dependence is trazodone - 50mg is popular off-label to induce sleep.”
“Well I've had good results with trazodone for sleep. It also doubles as an antidepressant.”
“I have taken trazadone, diphenhydramine, ambien, (which holy shit works, but has massive side effects and not a long term solution)”
“Trazadone works for me too... the hangover/groginess is much worse for me than z drugs.”
“my sleep stack is 10mg of Melatonin and 300mg Trazodone. Puts me to sleep fast, and I wake up 8 hours later refreshed.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“nothing really beats trazodone so far. Even half of one knocks me out.”
“I was prescribed Trazodone for sleep and it gave me wildly vivid dreams (not fun, mostly nightmares).”
“For the first week, it was great, but now I don't know if it's doing as much as I had hoped. I feel like I never get enough sleep.”
“The brainfog turned out to be the sleeping pill I was taking (trazodone). That went away when I stopped it.”
“Things that I have tried that initially worked but now do not: 1) Trazodone”
“I was on 100mg of trazodone and having an incredibly tough time tapering down. Really, it was awful, suicidal thoughts on a daily basis along with ridiculous sweating and worse withdrawal symptoms than xanax”
