Trazodone- possible lowered sex drive?

[Christianmke (imported)]

So I'm currently on trazodone for insomnia problems, but after further research, like most anti-depressants, it's possible side effect is lowered or dysfunctional sex drive.

I take 50mg a night and that seems to help me get out. I wonder if anyone has a clue how much I *should* be taking to not only help with insomnia, but also help bring those side effects out

Thoughts?

Trazadone can have wildly varying effects on different folks. If I take 25 mg, I'm out for 18 hours. The next guy needs 200 mg to nod off. It is all over the map. I've never heard of anyone complaining or claiming low libido effects from using it.

I take Trazadone 100mg to help me sleep at night but I haven't noticed any lack of sex drive except one that may accompany me being almost as old as River

I am taking 200mg at night for sleep. It works some times but not always

My sex drive has tanked, but I don't thimk it is an affect of traz

I have been taking the 200mg dose for years and my libido crashed only in the last 6 months; therefore I think there is no relationship between the two for me:dong:
