How Many Years Can I Take Trazodone For

Updated

I have been taking 300mg trazodone at night for the past 8 years. Is this too long? Can I go on indefinitely taking it? I am frightened of rocking the boat by stopping it. I would consult my doctor and taper off gradually.

I have also been taking Trazodone for several years. My doctor informs me that it is not habit forming. A search of the internet maybe full of different opinions. I often refer to webmd. First though I would consult your doctor if in doubt. Stopping the medication should be gradual under your doctors care, not on your own. As for rocking the boat I'm wondering if you are on other medications as I am. I am on a antipsychotic and 2 anti-depressent and Trazodone to sleep drugs. There have been med changes through out my life. I know through experience to never take a guess.
