    Hi Anne,

    I was on 5mg Diazepam then Trazodone too for chronic Anxiety and Depression last year.

    Trazodone was the only med that really worked for me along side Diazepam as required.

    Was a winning combination for me, after I tapered off I have been medication free all this year and manage my Anxiety with Meditation and mindfulness.

    I wish you all the best on your journey.

    Peace

      thats good you have found your combination. i know trazodosne is meant to make you sleep but i am more wakeful till early hours. does it take a while to work. also waking with sore throat with it. still using diazepam for anxiety. will it take some time for this to work?

    I take trazodone to help me sleep and it is good for that. I am not sure whether it helps with my anxiety which starts every morning when I wake. It sometimes clears quite quickly and sometimes lingers all day.
