Hi
I was on it for a couple months 12.5 mg it does work well and it actually really helped my sleep apnea. But I found that it made me have a lot of nightmares so I went off at now I'm just doing melatonin and actually it's working I only do 1 mg because I also take so Loft for depression but 25 mg

I was just on another group posting about taking trazadone and it causing very vivid and deep dreams. The poster was talking about having his pulse rate go up and down during his sleep and he takes trazadone.
When I was aon trazadone I had tremendous deep and vivit dreams. I mean really deep and vivid. I would remember then when I woke up. I talked to my psychiatry medication specialist about it and was told raises your serotonin and very vivid dreams.
I mean I had some really some so vivid that I thought they happened when I woke up. Sometimes upset. I asked the poster to talk to the doctor who prescribed the trazodone if he could be having such vivid dreams that could be causing his pulse rate to rise and fall so much.
I do not take trazodone any longer on a daily basis. My prescription now is take as needed. But before I was put on it I could not sleep. I was prescribed Ambein but did not work my mind kept racing. Trazodone kind of put brakes on my racing mind and went to sleep.
