Getting good sleep is important for anxiety and depression. Trazedone before bedtime can help you sleep. It's not habit forming.



The other thing to try is exercise. It can be as simple as a long walk each day. That will relax you. Try taking a walk with your favorite music playing on your iPod.



Make sure you have someone to talk to. Your problem is not unusual.

Trazodone is often used in conjunction with other antidepressants when those drugs cause sleep problems. I took Zoloft in combination with Trazodone for a while and it helped me sleeped. I've never heard of Trazodone being used as an anti-anxiety medication, though.

I know several people who take trazadone to sleep...one takes only 50 mg.....another takes 150mg... and my brother needs 200 mg. to sleep at all.....it is not addictive...try it.....didn't work for me, but I have other options as I don't get addicted to drugs, etc.

I take deseryl also. I am on 200 mg at night. I suffer from bipolar and anxiety. I am on that xanax, lexapro and lamictal. It does seem to help me.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical

problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed

daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be

cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful

for getting sleep.

I take trazodone and have for 15 years but the milligrams are high--250 to 300 each night . It really makes you sleep good and works very well for me for depression and anxiety. Smaller doses might work for you but your doctor would have to help you with that. Wouldn't it be horrible if our brain didn't think , yet I know at times we wish it would just shut up and give us some rest . the trazodone will help with that also. good luck!!

It can work for others and it could not be good for some. The best thing to do is to consult your doctor for the best medicine for your. Here are some side effects that you should observe and tell your doctor about this drug:
Painful erection or prolonged (4 hours)
allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping
feeling light-headed, fainting;
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms; or
chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling; or
problems with urination.
