Getting off Trazadone

[Summer123]

Anybody ever gotten off trazadone?  I was prescribed it a hundred years ago and took 150 mg for sleep.  However, I hardly sleep anyway, so decided to go off of it since it just puts me to sleep, but I don't stay asleep.  I cut down to 100 mg for the past few days and am wondering when to cut it down to 50.  So far, no problem.

Thanks so much for your response.  I have not been able to find out any information.  However, that may be a good thing as I am suscepible to what I hear.  When I got myself off paxil, I purposely avoided websites because I heard they existed that said how horrible it was to get off paxil.  I got myself off the paxil in short order.  Once I'm off this blasted trazadone, then it will only be one psychiatric med to go:  xanex.  I'm not looking forward to getting off of that one.

100 years ago? Sounds like an age-defying drug to me -where do I get this stuff? Oddly, neither trazadone nor any of the trade names (Desyrel, Molipaxin, Trittico, Thombran, and Trialodine Trazorel) appear in the massive Medhelp drug database. I'll inquire about the ommission. Meanwhile, just hope a guy named Ryan finds your post -and you'll get an answer.

Whatever you do, proceed with caution. OK?
