      2 days on 5, then 2 on 10, than up to 20. For 45. I take Trazadone 50 for sleep. And diazepam for anxiety for next 3 weeks. Mostly suffering horrible anxiety. It takes a long time to kick in can take 8 to 12 weeks. Doesn’t reach steady blood levels till 4 or 5 weeks

    That seems really lose dose. Im on 20, asked dr acbout my night time panic attack / meltdowns and he upped mine to 40 after just 1 week.... however since caling I havent had that issue so Im still taking the 20 and hope to stay there. My anxiety is more prevalent now though, I have days when my heart feels racey and tight chest. But im going to hangin there.
