Stopping Trazodone. Need guidance

I have tried unsuccessfully to taper off of Trazadone due to the headache side effect. I have not been able to go lower than 25mg due to balance issue and lightheadedness. I haven’t given up however.

@mpjabbey Have you a prescription in liquid form? It's easier to reduce more gradually if you can measure in liquid form.Reduction can be say once every three days; then after however long it takes for tiny reduction every three days to feel ok you can look at next step- even if that's a few weeks or months away... and if tiny reduction every three days adversely affects you then you could make it every 4,5 or however many days a week.
If you already have liquid form and are doing it the way I' was recommended whenever reducing meds, then sorry for repeating advice you already know. Good luck!
