[|Human|] I was prescribed Trazodone two days ago for trouble falling asleep. take one or two 50 mg. Tablets at bedtime. First night I took one 50mg tablet at 10:30 p.m. At 12:30 a.m. still awake. took second tablet. At 2:30a.m. still awake. fell asleep around 3:00 a.m.  The second night I decided to take two tablets at bedtime in hopes of falling asleep right away. I did but did not wake up on my own. My husband woke me at 12:30 p.m. because he was worried. I felt disconnected with my brain and body all day and evening. I feel confused, unfocused and uncoordinated. I feel like I am going to fall when walking and extremely fatigued. I wouldnt dare try to drive. My back and head are hurting. Is this normal side effects and should I take again tonight?
[|AI|]  Hi there ~I understand your concerns and appreciate you giving a somewhat elaborate history with all the online limitations of this forum.  Although Trazodone is an effective medication for sleep problems, you need to optimize the dose for yourself.  This medication can be effective to help induce sleep and may be having a side effect of making you Chat Doctor.  If you believe that you are not getting the right effect from the medication it might be as well to try a different medication to help with sleep.  There are many other medications that are as effective but not with the side effects that you are experiencing.  I hope this helps.  Please consult your psychiatrist for medications that may be helpful alternatives. Take care and have a lovely day!
