"i tried trazodone for the first time last night. i was prescribed to take up to 75 mg before bedtime. i took 50 mg at 9 pm and wasn&#039;t feeling tired or less anxious by 10 pm, so then i took another 25 mg. around 11:30 pm i finally started nodding off and slept soundly until 7 am. i have tried over the counter sleeping medications and ativan twice. i would say this medication is better than over the counter stuff and is like a milder version of ativan. it didn&#039;t put me to sleep right away, but when it finally kicked it, it worked very well.
hope this review helps!"
