I use Trazodone 50 mg on the weekends when I can sleep in and 25mg during the week when I have to get up at 6:15. I am having a lot of trouble napping (Panic attacks) and am wondering if anyone has ever taken it for napping. I would just used 12.5 mg. Any thoughts?

its not for napping as it produces a hangover. I am surprised 25 mg is getting you to sleep at all. 100mg would not put me out and left a horriable thrist and hang over. glad it works for you. naps are impossiable when you have anxiety and panic attacks -at least for me they were. if I did nod off I would bolt awake in panic

I currently take 50 mg of T nightly, and have been for 5 months now. I also take 1 mg of melatonin with this and it does the trick for me. Usually I get 6-7 hours of solid sleep with this combination, and just a slight hangover that is cured with a cup of coffee. Love it. My doc says I can literally stay on T for the rest of my life if needed since it doesn't have any negative side effects that could harm one.

Yeah I tried 12.5 mg and still woke up with a panic attack an hour later. Ugh.

lmazy,

Sorry I couldn't respond on the Rx question...glad you got some answers. smile

Have you tried Binaural Beats/Sound Wave Therapy? This could be just what you need for short duration sleeping/napping.

Let me know if you'd like more info on it, and I'll be happy to post more.

Trazodone seems to work differently for different people. I take 300 mg nightly and don't have a hangover at all. It's the only thing that lets me sleep all night and feel refreshed in the morning.
