Hi! I used to take Trazadone many years ago and really liked it. I played around with the dosage to see what the smallest amount was that I could take and have it still be effective as an antidepressant. For me 50mg was the smallest effective dose.
I'm surprised that you still have a hangover after so many years of taking it. For me, and other people I've read about, the hangover goes away after a few weeks as your body adjusts.
Personally, I think it would be a good idea to be honest with your doc about exactly what you're taking and why. That way you can work together to find the best treatment for you.
Wishing you all the best
> I use 25mg trazedone at bedtime. It gets me to sleep, although if I take it too late at night I'm still comatose in the morning and am very groggy. I consider it a sleep aid. My psychiatrist tells me it is an anti-depressant "booster rocket" for my effexor and wellbutrin. I used to take doxepin, which helped me sleep but didn't booster-rocket me.
