I had been taking 150mg of Trazodone, up from 100mg, for a month or so while the dr. Adjusted my cipralex. She wanted me to go back down to 100mg so I decreased by 25mg for 2 weeks with no problem then went down by another 25 10 days ago so I am back to 100mg. The last few days I have had trouble sleeping and today I am very anxious and depressed.  Can anyone relate?  I have a dr.s appointment next week, the earliest I can get in.  I’m not sure if I should increase to 125 again.  I need sleep.

    I was put on that nasty drug for anxiety,  Even though I was not having any sleeping problems.  I was so unaware of what I was taking.  I was also taking klonopin.  I was at 75 mg per day. I started my weaning March 27/17.   My last dose was October 26/17..So that was 7 months. I then weaned off klonopin after that.   This withdrawaling was a complete nightmare!!!  It has been over 7 months off the trazodone,  and 6 months off the klon, and I am still going through protracted withdrawals.     Never again will I take anything like this
