How long does trazodone withdrawal last?

Short answer: This varies by individual, dose, and duration of use; general antidepressant discontinuation symptoms often ease within one to a few weeks of a completed taper, but this should be discussed with your prescriber for your specific situation.

Editorially reviewed

There isn't a single universal timeline, since it depends on your dose, how long you were taking it, and your individual physiology. A slow, prescriber-guided taper is specifically intended to minimize both the severity and duration of withdrawal-type symptoms compared with stopping abruptly.
