"i have been taking 50mg of trazodone at bedtime for 19 years. more than 50mg does not help me sleep any better and i am groggy in the morning. 50mg is perfect for me as it hits fast and no morning time sedation. it is not a controlled drug, does not have any drug abuse potential and is not addicting. my first doctor would not prescribe it to me for fear of priapism.  after 19 years--still no priapism!!"
