I don't know where to post this. I've been taking trazodone for around 3 weeks to help me sleep. I started with 25mg but then I increased it to 50mg but it made me very dizzy before I fell asleep and I didn't like the feelings so I went back to 25mg and have been taking 25mg for almost all those 3 weeks. The night before last night I took maybe less than 25mg, I don't know why. I feel anxious before I fall asleep and when I wake up and throughout the day. Yesterday I was feeling very anxious in the morning. I took a nap at 3pm and after that I was feeling calm all afternoon. I think maybe it wore off by that time (3pm) because it was a very low dosage. At 12am, I took trazodone, again less than 25mg and 10mins after I felt very anxious and I woke up anxious and still feel anxious. When I take less than 25mg I don't sleep through the night so that's why I don't like it and last night I couldn't sleep. Could the medicine be making me more anxious?

I seem to recall that it can have that effect. I suggest you talk to your doctor about what's happening.
Thanks for this!
