FAQ
Which Trazodone strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Trazodone tablets come as 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. Packs hold 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 360 tablets. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How is Trazodone delivered to Hong Kong?
Tracked courier for Trazodone takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking. Standard airmail takes 14 to 21 business days, up to 30, and is untracked. Every order ships in plain, unbranded packaging. Very large orders may be split into several parcels.
What is another name for trazodone?
Brand names for trazodone include Desyrel, Trittico and Molipaxin. Trazodone tablets are a pure generic trazodone product and are not any of those brands. Here, trazodone can also be bought online as generic Desyrel.
How quickly does trazodone work for sleep?
The sedating effect usually arrives within the first hour or two, which is why it is commonly taken at bedtime. Its effect on mood is much slower and builds over the first few weeks of regular use.
Can I drink alcohol with trazodone?
Alcohol deepens the drowsiness and dizziness trazodone already causes, and it can leave you unsteady on your feet. Even one or two drinks are often enough to make the next morning foggy.
What is the difference between the 50mg and 100mg tablets?
The number is simply how much trazodone each tablet contains: a 100mg tablet holds twice as much as a 50mg one. The three strengths let a dose be matched closely; they do not treat different conditions.
Can I stop trazodone suddenly?
Trazodone is not habit-forming, but insomnia and restlessness can return if it is stopped abruptly after months at a higher strength. A gradual reduction over a week or two is easier on sleep.
Does trazodone have to be taken with food?
Trazodone is usually taken with a meal or an evening snack rather than on an empty stomach. Food does not stop the tablets working, but a full stomach makes the dose easier to tolerate.
About Trazodone
What trazodone tablets are for
Trazodone belongs to the antidepressants group and is used mainly for major depressive disorder — weeks of low mood, loss of interest, and sleep that has gone wrong. Because it is noticeably sedating, it also gets used for insomnia, particularly when sleeplessness and low mood arrive together. This listing is plain tablets in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg strengths, in packs of 30 up to 360 tablets, so both a first month and a longer run are covered.
How trazodone works
Many people first notice trazodone as a sleepy, settled feeling shortly after a dose. That comes from its action on serotonin, a messenger that helps steer mood and the sleep–wake cycle. Trazodone blocks some serotonin receptors and also slows the reabsorption of serotonin by nerve cells, so it is called a SARI (serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor). The lift in mood is slower and builds across the first few weeks.
Taking your tablets
The evening is when most people take their tablet, ideally after dinner or with a snack, since dizziness is likelier on an empty stomach. Drowsiness peaks in the first few hours, which suits bedtime; a few people divide the day's dose instead. Expect the dose to climb over the first week or two. That is how a 25mg start and a 100mg tablet end up in the same course. Drinking alcohol adds to the sedation and can leave you dizzy the next morning. Keep the strips out of direct sun.
Side effects, and mixing it with other medicines
Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, headaches, blurred vision and nausea are the usual complaints, and they tend to fade as the body adjusts. Stand up slowly if you feel faint. A rare but serious problem in men is a painful erection that will not go down; one lasting more than four hours needs urgent treatment. Less common are an irregular heartbeat, fainting, or unusual bruising and bleeding. A fever with stiff muscles, sweating and confusion — serotonin syndrome — needs urgent help as well. Sleeping tablets, benzodiazepines, strong painkillers and alcohol all deepen the drowsiness, so driving is unwise until you know how a dose affects you. MAO inhibitors and other serotonin-boosting medicines (SSRIs, tramadol, St John's wort) raise the risk of serotonin syndrome.
Trazodone or Desyrel?
Desyrel holds the same ingredient in the same three strengths and is also listed under sleeping pills. What separates the two listings is the name and maker on the pack rather than the strength range, so the choice comes down to which label you prefer and which pack size fits. Desyrel
