Trazodone 50mg primarily helps improve sleep. Many users report falling asleep faster and experiencing less nighttime awakenings. This can lead to improved daytime functioning and mood. However, remember that Trazodone is not a hypnotic; its sleep-promoting effects are secondary to its antidepressant properties. Therefore, it may not be suitable for all insomnia sufferers.
Potential Benefits
Improved sleep quality, reduced insomnia symptoms, and potentially better daytime alertness and mood are the main benefits. Some individuals experience a reduction in anxiety symptoms as a secondary effect. Always discuss your specific needs with your doctor.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include daytime drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and nausea. Less common, but still possible, are blurred vision, constipation, and weight gain. A serious, though rare, side effect is priapism (prolonged, painful erection). Seek immediate medical attention if this occurs. Inform your doctor of any existing health conditions before starting Trazodone.
