I've been having difficulties sleeping on and off since my daughter was born 11 months ago. Also suffering from low mood and anxiety, particularly when I'm not sleeping well.
After a really bad patch of waking at 2am for the day I went back to GP last week and I've been prescribed trazodone, starting at 50mg. This has improved my sleep and mood a little and I found 100mg has improved it a little more.
I've been taking it for a week now, but still sleep is not brilliant, waking at 430am and then only dozing (lots of weird dreams about Andy Murray(!)) until dd wakes.
I feel exhausted.
Does anyone have any experience of this medication? How long should it take to have an effect on sleep? (I've read mixed reports with some saying immediately and some saying up to 6 weeks).
I'm also questioning the doseage and am tempted to try 150mg tonight as I've read that this is the starting dose for depression.
Any advice and experience would be really appreciated.
