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.
