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.
Next Steps
Taper off slowly whenever medication is needed to stop.
Health Tips
If primary diagnosis is of insomnia, various medications like Lemborexant, melatonin may also be given consideration.
