What is a safe way to taper off 100mg of trazodone?
Mental Health | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (4)Comment receiving replies
I was told today to decrease the 100mg of trazodone to 50mg for 1 week then decrease to 25mg for 1 week then off the next week. Does this sound safer or should I call my psyc. CNP?

I still think that is too fast unless you have a high tolerance for uncomfortable side effects. I don’t think that it’s “unsafe” just that you will be more comfortable doing it more slowly.
Call your psychiatrist no matter what, these meds affect your mental health and they should be in the loop.
There’s no reason to cut the Trazadone so quickly. 50mg can be cut in half with a cheap pill cutter and even in quarters. People who don’t take these meds have no idea how hard it can be to get off them. If you take it slowly, your chances for success are much higher!
