Tolerance to trazodone's sedating effect is reported anecdotally by some long-term users, though it is not as consistently documented as with certain other sleep medications. If trazodone seems to be working less well over time, this is worth discussing with your prescriber rather than increasing your own dose — there may be other factors (like an underlying sleep disorder) worth investigating.
Will I build tolerance to trazodone for sleep over time?
Short answer: Some people report reduced effectiveness for sleep over months of regular use, though this varies widely by individual, and it is not universally reported the way it is with some other sleep aids.
