I wanted to make sure I answered accurately on dosage so went and got bottle.

Yes the dose I have is 50 MG tablet. I was prescribed to take 1 tablet at bed time. That dosage really worked.

My psychiatric medication specialist asked me when (this was some time ago) I felt I could lesson dose to try going to 25 mg. The pill has a crease in it to break in half.

When I went to 25 mg I could tell the difference between the 50 mg. and 25 mg. Then over time started skipping a night and eventually stopped taking all together. I think in the last year have not take at all but it took about a year to get to the point of not needing a dosage.

I think I mentioned that I still have the tendency to have my mind focus on something bothering me or race between things. So I have developed a technique of focusing on something that requires me to focus on one thing. Like last night I went to bed and when I found myself starting to worry about something and mind moving around I tried to add up all the calories I ate at breakfast, then lunch, then dinner, and any snacking inbetween. Never got to dinner. I guess it is a form of counting sheep which trying to count sheep. Counting sheep never worked for me as could not visualize the sheep jumping over a fence.

My wife also takes Trazodone for anxiety disorder and to help her get to sleep. She has had a lot of surgeries over the last few years and a person who has trouble relaxing.

She will take a 50 mg when she is suffering to get to sleep and a 25 mg when she is not upset or worrying. She too has tried to wean off and for most part lately she has not had take every night.
