> Two nights is a chance if one has life threatening effects to anything. But a few weeks at least is generally more realistic for any agent, I would thinkTwo nights is not enough of a fair trial for Trazodone. The label even says it may take up to 2 weeks to reach it full theraputic effect.
This is not uncommon...as most of us know that few drugs work immediately..especially an anti-depressant like Trazodone.
I am about 5 nights in..and I am getting better
results already.Give it a couple weeks.
