How long does 50 mg's of Trazodone take to work?

I am taking it for insomnia. But I know that it is an anti depressant medication, I am also taking Zyprexa for help with appetite. Could those react with each other? And also are there any other concerns that go along with this medication?

Answer #1

Does your dr. or psychiatrist know that you are on both? If so then I dont think they should interact. Trazadone never helped with sleep for me personally, it just made my nose completely stuffed. The trazadone should take half an hour to an hour to kick in for sleep though.

Answer #2

I wud consult ur pharmacist about dr*g interactions. But the trazadone itself shud start to take effect about 45 minutes after u take it

Answer #3

Trazedone can definitely affect your libido and ability to org@sm, so if you notice anything funny going on, that’s probably what it is.

Answer #4

Yeah I completely know what you mean. I just felt sorta woozy for twenty minutes and my nose got all stuffed up. Won’t be taking that anymore. Knowing my Psychiatrist he will just want to up the dose…

Answer #5

I see that your question has already been answered correctly, everything they said above is what I would also have told you, however, I wanted to mention that there is a great site where you can check the interactions of your meds, You do not have to create an account, but if you do, it will save your entries, then as they switch your meds around all you have to do is add the new ones and check for possible interactions. However, it will not allow me to post the link because it contains the word drugs, but basically, it is d*ugs.com/interactions
