Re: Which is the best dosage of trazodone to sleep

Best dosage is whatever works for you, without nasty interactions and side effects. For years, I slept on 50mg Trazodone, but when panic attacks began (unmasked by another med I started), I needed up to 150mg.

Anything that raises serotonin or norepi messes with my sleep and exacerbates anxiety. I need to walk a very fine line to relieve anxiety and get sleep so that insomnia doesn't worsen my anxiety/panic attacks.

Have you discussed adding Lyrica at bedtime for sleep? Combined with trazodone, I had a great sleep study profile and it took a bit of the edge off my anxiety.

Good luck.
