Is Double Dosage Of Trazodone Advisable For Insomnia?

Hi. I am waking every 2-3 hours after I go to bed for the last 4 or 5 weeks. Dr. has prescribedTrazodone 50 mg. Taking 1/2 tablet at night. I have been taking this inconsistently but want to take 2 at night to see if it helps me. I am a 52 year old woman with hot flashes. Safe to take 2 at bedtime? Thank you

Regarding your inability to sleep for a long duration can be devastating I feel your impact to an extend of taking 2 tablet of trazodone at night this is a overdose
In view of this please visit your physician for re-evaluation of your drugs
