Trazadone use for insomnia for seniors

I am 71 and for years have had the same sleep issues you describe. My doc put me on a trial of Trazodone, but I developed a lot of high abdominal pain. Tests ruled out other causes, so I stopped the Traz and the pain stopped. Now I take 15 mg Mirtazipine and 1 mg clonazepam at bedtime and sleep through the night. Even if I’m awakened I fall back asleep quickly. Good luck.

I have been taking Trazodone for years and I have a shopping problem. My sister and one of her friends have started on Trazodone in November. My sister and her friend have also started shopping extensively. Her doctor said it’s the Trazodone. He took her off it and gave her Doxipin. And life is much better. My doctor said the same for me and is taking me off and now I know why I was shopping so much it was the Trazodone.
