Hi,

I have been taking trazodone for years to help with my sleep and anxiety. I've never had any issues. I felt awful taking other meds, but not trazodone.

I take 200mg at night for sleep and anxiety. It has changed my life. I struggled with other drugs

I take it. No side effects except it helps me sleep well at night, which I like as a side effect.
