I used to take it at 100-200mg per night, and it was very effective for sleeping… but it left me terribly groggy the next day. The average person could probably handle it, but I have narcolepsy so anything that makes me more tired during the day is a death sentence. It also depends on the dose- if I still took it now I could probably go down to 50-100 because I weigh so much less now. I actually need to get a stronger sleep med again because hydroxyzine will not cut it. Maybe look into Remeron? My dad has been using it for years and it works best for him. I might even look into that and hope it works with me, too. everyone is different.

Side note: I have a friend who used to take Trazodone and it worked GREAT for her but the side effects were too much and she had to go off it- she’s on the thin end and was taking about 50-100mg I think?

I hope this helps!
