Global Patient Feedback for Desyrel (Trazodone)
Please see our forum guidelines.
I was given Trazadone by my physician when I asked him for something to help me sleep through the night.I am one of those who usually get to sleep successfully,but wake up early,and can't get back to sleep. I have been taking 50mg ( 1/2 tablet),and this does make a difference in the length of my sleep.I don't experience grogginess the next day.I am 62.

I've been taking Trazodone for many years, a low dose. It helps me sleep about 95 percent of the time & I have no hangover from it. I don't know what I'd do without it.
