I think you have the right idea to gradually taper off of it. Trazodone is an antidepressant (although doses much larger than 25 mg are used for that purpose). So maybe that's why you felt depression after discontinuing it all at once.
After you have been off of it for a while, you should be back to your old self.
> I took 25 mG Trazodone for sleep problems related to stress event and anxiety, worked great but I noticed I was very aroused most of the time. Just thought that was a side effect, went off after 2 weeks, felt better and didn't need it. Noticed I felt depressed and had poor sleep about a week after stopping, so I went back on. But, now I am less interested in sex and have odd orgasms, plus my erections aren't as durable as usual. Anyone experience any of this? Not sure if it's the medication but I'm trying to taper off to see if there is a link. Very strange.
