Does trazodone take awhile to start working as a sleeping med. I have taken it for 3 nights 50mg and I have barely slept. Also citalopram 20mg?

As I stated, my doctor put me back on Celexa (citalopram) for panic disorder and added trazadone for sleep. Could trazadone help with sexual sideFX of Celexa (citalopram)?
