Anyone successfully stopped using Trazadone for insomnia

Posted by mpjabbey @mpjabbey, 1 day ago

I have been on Trazadone for 8 years. So tired of dealing with the side effects of headaches everyday. Has anyone successfully stopped using Trazadone for sleep disorder. I am down to half of 25 mg. Still able to fall asleep but wake up 3-4 times during the night

I was on Trazadone for about 3 months and quit because of side effects. I didn’t taper off just stopped and had no problems. That may have been because of short duration use. Now I use an external Vegus nerve stimulator and it works better than the trazadone ever did.

I’m glad to hear you have no side effects and the medication is working well for you.
