Trazodone/remark & question

Hey everyone,

I've been taking the trazodone at night the way I was told to do and may I say I hate this med.

The first couple of nights I slept like a log. Now I take it and I do take it with the paxil and vistaril, but I go to sleep and I wake up several times at night. I had nightmares before, now that is pretty okay, but my sleep is really lacking.

When I want to sleep I can't. I'm not at all irritable or aggitated now. It helped that. I guess I'm pretty much worried about it not helping me sleep. I'm only taking 100mg, I think, maybe 50mg. I take 2 pills. I forgot what the mg is on the pill.

I guess I just wanted to know if anyone has had the same experience. Should I wait to see if it regulates? Call pdoc? I did lower my dose on Friday night and it was worse, I was up so many times, I literally lost count.

I just want a week of sound sleep. My eyes have more baggage than a jetliner.
