Re: Trazadone
For me trazodone greatly exacerbates RLS symptoms. But I believe there are reports out there of people for whom it has helped with RLS

Re: Trazadone
It doesn't help the movement symptoms, unfortunately. It can help with sleep. Some of us can tolerate it, some of us cannot.

Re: Trazadone
My doctor put me on it very early on. It didn't do anything for my movement issues and also didn't help with sleep. What it did do was leave me walking around the house like a drunk. I was bumping into walls and furniture even though the thinking part of my mind was functioning like normal.

Re: Trazadone
I took it for 1-2 years. Can't say that it changed my RLS in any way (positive or negative), but I guess it helped me a bit to fall asleep, at least a first. Eventually I stopped it and it made no change in sleep quality, so whatever effect it had at first must have evaporated.
