Hi Pandabear,
Obviously you'll be hoping to hear from someone taking trazodone in a dose high enough to treat things other than sleep problems, but I also thought I'd mention that I take it occasionally for that reason (25 to 50 mgs) and really like it. As long as I don't wait until too late at night (morning I should say, like...now??). If I take it too late and won't be able to sleep in I'm sometimes groggy. But anyway despite the dose that's supposedly too low to dent depression, I swear I often do feel a bit of that effect the next day. Docs say that's just due to sleeping better, but it feels like more to me. Anyway, good luck!
> > My therapist just perscribed Trazodone to me ..does anyone know anything good or bad about this drug? I was taking seroquel but today she wanted to talk to me so i went in and she told me that she is believing me to be full blown bipolar..and she wants me to take trazodone just because the seroquel was making me to groggy in the mornings...the only thing that she said was negative was that it isnt a mood stabilizer and that since im supposedly bipolar, i need a mood stablilzer...im not very happy...I dont know ANYTHING about this medicine...someone please tell me what you know about it good or bad...thanks.
