Question: Hi I have been on Trazadone for insomnia. I'm considering stopping it due to memory issues. I did stop for about 3 weeks & found that my memory was better & I was dreaming again. What do you suggest? Continue or stop ?

Brief Answer: You can stop it. Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query. If you are taking trazodone for sleep only and getting memory issue, in that case, you can stop it. There is nothing harm in stopping it. After stopping it, if you feel any problem in sleep, then you can try any benzodiazepine on sos basis after psychiatrist consultation. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
