A 33-year-old member asked:
would taking 100 mg trazodone make me feel like a "zombie" all of a sudden?

It certainly could: The tolerance for trazodone is all over the board. I see people who can tolerate 25 mg per night and others who can tolerate 600 mg per night. There is unfortunately no particular way to predict the reaction so i usually start very low and have the patient gradually work the dose up to the highest dose tolerable for them. Best wishes.
