Can 50 mg of trazadone be just stopped or does it need a taper? i am using it for sleep.

Depends: Depends how long you have been on it. Trazadone was originally designed as an antidepressant and thus should be weaned if you have been on it for a lengthy time. Discuss with your doctor as you should before you make any medication changes
