[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 199126, member: 42264"] I can't speak to how T may interact with Trazadone, but I have been on Trazadone for several years for sleep. 100mg every night. I have tried a few times to wean off it, and it has been hell. Feel terrible during the day, so I just accept that I need it to sleep. As an aside, I find Trazadone is useful for sleep induction (helps you fall asleep), but not great for sleep maintenance (stay asleep). I actually also take doxepin, also for sleep. Both are antidepressants, but of different classes. Trazadone gets me to sleep and doxepin keeps me asleep. There is some controversy over long term use of tricylics and possible connection to dementia. That said, I'll go nuts if I can't sleep, so I accept the risks. I would caution against long term use of ambien and drugs in that class. Can be hard to get off (although I am also stuck on my meds), and in my opinion, makes you more likely to be groggy and hungover in the morning. These drugs are essentially very low dose benzodiazepines, which are fairly risky. [/QUOTE]
