Drowsiness (up to 40%)is the most common side effects of trazodone. Other CNS effects include confusion (5%), dizziness (25%), lightheadedness (25%), nervousness (up to 15%), fatigue (9%), and headache (15%). Some CNS side effects occur during the first few weeks of therapy, and tolerance can develop after 1 or 2 weeks. Taking trazodone during a fasting state may increase the incidence of these effects.
Peak levels are achieved 1 hour after dosing in the fasting state and 2 hours after dosing with food. There is wide individual response. Most patients who respond to therapy with trazodone do so by the end of the second week of therapy.
Hope this helps!

That is correct. Those 2 medications are very often prescribed together. Best of luck to you!

Thanks. I've stopped taking the Trazodone, but am still not sleeping and am desperate for sleep. So, I may give it another try for 2 weeks. I assume it's safe to take Trazodone with the Alprazolam?
