I have been taking Trazodone 200mg for about 12 years, and have never experienced any problem with priapism. I am also taking 60mg of Cymbalta. I asked my doctor about the chances of priapism on Trazodone. He said that is only a problem if the dose is above 300mg. Trazodone was originally intended as an antidepressent medication, but the effective dose was between 400-600mg. People taking that dose, were sleepy all day, so it was not the drug of choice. Now it is used as a sleep aid. I have tried the newer sleep aids for my insomnia i.e. Ambien, Lunesta, Rozerem. None of them worked for me at all, So I am sticking with the Trazodone.
