I'm 70 years old and I've used Trazodone for the past 15 years. I've had no side effects, but I've had to increase my dose from 1 tablet to 3 tablets at night. I still wake up a few times during the night but I'm usually able to get back to sleep. However, I would like to slowly taper off my dose back to 1 tablet/night. I'm looking into melatonin - not sure if that will work!
