Help you what? For sleep it will work within 15 to 30 min if you are laying down and going to bed but if you choose not to and you stay up and active it won’t do much but give you a dry mouth, in other words you can actually stay active and miss the “effective” timing of this pill as a sleep aid, many people use it for depression (that’s what it is) and take it in the morning but it is more often used off label for sleep.
I have been prescribed Trazadone in many doses over the past 20 years and it just has never been effective in treating my depression, it does help me sleep though.
Hope this helps you.

Yes very helpful , Thank you very much and God Bless
My mom is on home hospice. There is a care box that is given for various general elderly dimentia patients. Some are for nausea, Pain, constipation, etc. There is a small amt in of each and the only persons allowed into the patient care box are her rn or me her her surrogate. I have it wrapped and taped carefully as many visitors come in and out. No one that I am aware of even knows what is in there. Just last week the rn and I noticed a leak in one of the 2mg bottles of oxicotin bottle and a few pills missing. 2 trazadone and 1 halatol. I have secured it and boobied trapped it as she doesn't need these meds at this time. R N said to watch as they administer the liquids via a dropper so would not be of any use for an "amateur" MY question: if an aide gave my mom at night one or 2 of the trazadone. Would we have noticed excess sleeping during the day it was administered? Also I alerted everyone there is a cam put up that is experimental and the company didn't even tell me.Sounds good as nothing has been touched since then. Thanks for listening as this has been a very dishearten experience for all.
Its not like a pain pill or a xanax to me. Its nothing compared to it. Its not a controlled substance there for u wont feel it right on. It will take a couple days. But its not habit forming.
I'm wondering what was the alarm for? If it's only cause you weren't taking it as prescribed, I would be careful.
Good work as usual. It's an odd AD, in terms of chemical structure and effects. Most of the shrinks I know use it as a safe, non-addicting sleep aid. It wouldn't be my first choice for an AD. However, I did have a patient who "transferred to me" (his doc, whom I knew well retired). He hoped every night that the prism effect would kick in and I mentioned that we were talking one if a million or so MPR [Monthly Prescribing Reference] had this as a major story this month. I told the patient it wouldn't be very pleasurable beyond a few hours, gut he kept praying. Meanwhile. Imparted that I didn't get paged at 4 am regarding zm erectikon tjsy wouldn't stop! The [atiemt, a demtst by profession, gave up psychiatry because he needed ADs (I ut the Trazodone to 50mg at HS and prescribed Lexapro which world well) becaisevsome jerk in his AA group who had a DO after his name (and no certs in psychiatry) told him he wasn't sober on NON-ADDICTING psych meds.His annoyed me so much that I literally "brought down the house," since I had Ivy League degrees, multiple certs, creds, etc., I told him because the "The Big Book" says or implies something doesn't make to factual correct. This is not the Holy Bible under discussion here.
I contacted that doc (an FP) and asked why he was interfering with my case and if he said abater word I'd report him to the state licensing board — along with five or six other docs. Predictably, the patient fell into a Depressive Episode and decided to go to ann "AA Doctor" — he prescribed a drug that came on the market about shen my folks got married — 1953 or so — Trivial. Good enough and safe enough, but I didn't like giving phenothiazines indefinite. I take Thorazine for severe migraine accompanied by nausea and/r vomiting and I watch my intake. Hold save us from Bipolar patients (he had a Bipolar I Disorder) snd those doctors who don't care what the current thinking is, still advocate the position of no meds in AA or NA.
It may work ok if you have a hard tine sleeping but it Really if you have a hard time sleeping.
