The medication may be failing to help because the issues interfering with your sleep in the first place have worsened. The reasons for insomnia are vast and requires a personalized approach. Please discuss with the doctor that prescribed your medication.

Not unusual to develop tolerance to trazadone and unlikely to have effective outcomes over time. Although newer sleep agents are available, would suggest a sleep hygiene program. Virtual consult urged (www.connect@healthtap.com)
