Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Trazodone at a low dose 25-50 mg is sedative, as the dose increases, it’s antidepressants effect starts to show.
Unlikely to develop any tolerance, dose adjustment as per psychiatrist suggestion to induce sleep may be necessary.
