A member asked:

Had to stop trazadone cold turkey elevated liver enzymes. terrible insomnia . how long does it last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Other relief availab: The Trazadone is one medication which you can stop and it will leave the body completely within 4-6 weeks. However, there are other medications that can help you sleep and remain calm that can be taken while the Trazadone is leaving your body; sublingual Melatonine can be taken for example.
