 2  Sleep Aid I found that Trazodone DID help me sleep but the side effects were too severe to continue the rx. Experienced Side Effects: Headaches, lightheadedness, ANGER/rage issues, increased anxiety, nightmares, and the feeling that my heart was beating too fast. I did not experience dry mouth or any kind of digestive issues. F 28 2 months

 1  Insomnia related to anxiety/stress 2nd night on Trazodone had pinging in my ear for 20 min. Woke up at midnight last night (3rd night) with horrible heart palpitations, burning in arms. In the a.m. I had dry mouth and felt out of it the rest of the day. I wasn't consistent taking this drug in the beginning, started out with 25 mg but it didn't get me a restful sleep and not as much sleep as I expected. I stopped taking it last week when my daughter was ready to have a baby because I didn't want to be drugged out if I had to drive to the hospital in the middle of the night.. I resumed after that and when I was told to increase to 50 mg is when the dramatic side effects appeared. I thought I might have to call 911 last night no joke. I don't want to take it again, I hope I can sleep tonight since I will be going cold turkey. I HATE taking drugs and already dislike taking my antidepressant. I am very sensitive to medication and Trazodone interacts with my Lexapro but my doctor said since I am on such a low dose it shouldn't be an issue. Scary stuff. F 59 3 days
50 1X day

 3  Help with sleep and anxiety I felt extremely nauseous the second day all day after the first night taking it. I've been getting great sleep but after a week of taking it I noticed my face has what looks like bumps on it. I have always had a super clear complexion. It's freaking me out because I don't want bumps on my face. Has anyone else experienced this? F 41 7 days

 2  Sleep Headache/migraine - upon waking and lasting all day. Lightheadedness, nausea and sudden worsening depression. Trazodone would have helped with sleep had it not woken me in the wee hours with a migraine every day.Symptoms worsened with time, I never adjusted and along with migraines I developed a sudden crushing depression. I could no longer tolerate it and discontinued it after just a week. F 48 8 days

 2  Insomnia primarily Lethargy, groggyness, anxiety, confusion, memory loss, blurred vision, paranoid. It worked well for the insomnia, I was able to fall asleep in appropriate amount of time, only waking once during the night and able to fall back asleep. I feel it calmed me down once I was in bed, and I was able to sleep. The side effects were just too bizarre however, I didn't feel like myself. I felt out of it and really down the whole next day. I took it for 5 days and quit. I kept feeling okay, then not okay, then okay. M 25 5 days

 1  Chronic insomnia Did nothing for my insomnia. I slept my usual 4 hours. Awakened with pounding head, dry mouth, dizziness, and nausea. I flushed the rest of the pills and will go back to benadryl and herbal otc sleep aids as my amount and quality of sleep are as bad on trazodone without side effects. Horrible drug. Reinforced why I am loath to take prescription meds. See above. F 49 1 days
100 mg

 5  For sleeping issues It gives me a headache at times when I wake up the next morning and sometimes makes me off balance from a sitting to standing position. I have lost 40 lbs due to no appetite and light exercise in a resistance pool. This has helped me tremendously before my quality of life suffered. I would recommend this medication to people who have severe insomnia. However take it in bed because I have found that it has a fast acting release and if you are not settled down and ready to sleep the medication is not as effective I have found for me. F 42 4 months
150mg x2
