Tapering off of Trazadone

Posted by ksbrockman1 @ksbrockman1, 5 days ago

Hello,
I have been taking 50mg of Trazadone nightly to help with my sleep but I have been getting a sensation during the day when I stand up like I am going to drop down or fall, not dizzy.
I would like to stop taking it all together. How can I taper off of it? Thank you!

I would have your blood pressure checked. I'm not a doctor, and I note that you don't get dizzy but I'd still get it, and blood sugar checked.

This is more of a medical matter, and I agree that checking with a doctor would be the best and most important step. 50mg of trazadone is considered a very low dose. I agree that you need to rule out other health problems first....
