Hi,
I've found trazodone to be an excellent sleep aid. I have taken it alone, as well as while taking an SSRI, and an SSRI with Depakote. Either way, I found the usual dose range of 25mg to 50mg for insomnia to be too much for me, especially 50mg. Fifty mgs. also resulted in stuffy nose and dry mouth, enough to where I couldn't really sleep for two hours after taking it at bedtime.
I reduced to 25mg and this worked just as well, with less nose stuffiness and dry mouth. Even better, 12.5mg worked just as well, with no nose stuffiness or dry mouth. As with melatonin, if you find you are still drowsy in the morning, then reduce the dosage. Who'd have thought that 12.5 mg. would have helped me sleep well, but it did!
