Depression
"Originally I started taking trazodone for insomnia, but was fearful of taking too much so I minimized my dose and that was a mistake.  I believe its important to take the amount that starts working consistently for you as you titrate up to a dose that starts working.  And you need to give it time to build up in your system. I&#039;m up to 250 mg when I go to bed, I will take another 50 mg and that tends to give me a couple hours more sleep if I wake up too early.  What&#039;s really amazing about this medicine is that I no longer struggle with depression or anxiety.  It keeps my brain in chemical balance and I think clearly with no side effects, except I&#039;m a little tired in the morning.  So I drink a big cup of coffee and that helps."
