The trazadone is an antidepressant but they use it for sleep. Only take it right when you are ready to go to bed. It will knock to out real quick.

The klonopin should have instructions on bottle from pharmacy. You can take it only as needed or if the bottle says twice a day then do that. Like morning and late afternoon. Don't take more than is prescribed.

Zinco- the klonopin bottle says twice a day as needed . I need to take my lexapro in the am and trazadone at night. I know however the Lexapro was staying the same. That much I remember. But she wanted me to start with half a tablet first...but I don't know which one, klonopin or trazadone. She also said to take either the klonopin or the trazadone 1 hour before taking the other. Do you have experience or advice for this?

.5 mg klonopin? I say only take klonopin if you need it for anxiety. I would guess half the trazadone, half of 100 mg I would assume. Klonopin one hour before trazadone. Probably wants you to take half trazadone to see how it works. Some people feel groggy hungover the next morning. Maybe half would work good for you. Only take trazadone when you are ready to go to bed. It feels like NyQuil. Hits you pretty fast. Call doc for clarification.

What you wrote makes sense. (Yes to the guess about dosages) I think I will try tonight to see how i will feel. I will definitely call on Monday. Thanks for your advice.
