Tapering off of Trazadone

@gloaming Thank you for your reply and kind words. I've been experiencing chronic insomnia for two months and so frustrating. One doctor had me take low doses of xanax but that wasn't getting me consistent sleep or few hours at a time. I tried Mirtrazpine and it did nothing at 7.5. I switched doctors and he put me on Klonipin and I finally was able to get seven hours of sleep for four nights which was great. But then I was having side effects with my legs feeling like jelly during the day and just too out of it. So he weaned me off that. I was only on Klonopin for a week before he started weaning me off. So I just started the Trazadone and can't imagine taking one more night of it since I didn't sleep at all and felt terrible. So I'm not sure what is next and very discouraged. I've practiced all the good sleep hygiene, with good wind down routines, and much prayer.

@oceanlover91
I took 25mg=nothing
125mg works like a charm but be sure to take it/
Trazodone with food. Tart Cherry juice before bedtime is also supposed to help.
Find a doctor you trust.........easier said than done but is there an alternative??
