I don't think you need to wait for the trazodone to kick in if you are using it as a sleep aid--it should work right away. If you are using it as an AD, you would have to wait for results. Usually the dose for sleep is a lot smaller than the dose as an AD.
I may be wrong---Cam???
I think it is hard to say what the risk of addiction is for any single individual, but I do think it is valid to take this into consideration with Xanax.
I used to use Trazodone for sleep. Now I use Serzone, at (AD) therapeutic levels--both for AD and for sleep. I have posted on this many times.
