    Hi

    150mg is a high dose to start. Id start at 50mg for a week and see how you go. Make sure you take it just before you lay down.

      Hiya,

      Not sure never been sick with Trazodone. Maybe worth s chat with your doctor.

      I also felt dizzy and like a zombie for around 3 days in the morning. It passes.

      Id check with your doc. Hope things get better soon for you.

    I also started at 50mg, and felt like a zombie in the morning with that.

    Please just be sure you really want to take it.   I have been weaning off it since March/17, and it has been a nightmare

      Hi Karen ive been taking Trazodone for a year now and it works really well for me with insomnia. Remember the first couple of days you may feel dizzy and tired until it gets in your system. Please remember to only take as you are ready to lay down.
