Is Trazodone Effective In The Treatment Of Insomnia?
Does trazodone boost melatonin thus help sleeping? I am 73 years old and the article in the Wall Street Journal. Oct. 14 - 15, The Older You Are, The Worst You Sleep, was very revealing? I do take trazodone infrequently fearing addiction if I take it frequently. Please let me know how to boost melatonin and thus help me sleep. Sincerely: Harry Johnson

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Trazodone plus another antidepressant can improve sleep. Alternatively, trazodone might be taken alone, at a higher, antidepressant dose, to treat insomia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
