> Just picked up my first prescription of trazodone. Pdoc precribed me 100mg tablets and said to take 1 to 2 tablets before bedtime. Doesn't that seem a little high? I'm very sensitive to meds and have seen on here where most peeps start out at 50 mgs at night. Would think my pdoc would want me to start at lower dosage and go up slowly. Is this 100 mg supposed to be a therapeutic dose?

Hi Courtney,According to my pill book, the usual starting dose for an adult is 150mg. It can be increased every few days if needed. You would have to talk to your PDoc. So I would just start with what you're comfortable with. If thats 50mg then start there and talk to your PDoc about increasing when you're ready.
