Hello,

I've suffered with anxiety for a number of years but always managed to cope without the use of medication.
A couple of weeks ago my long term partner passed away unexpectedly. This has sent my anxiety in to overdrive.

To begin with, my doctor prescribed me 10 x 2mg diazepam. These make me feel a lot better but my doctor will not prescribe anymore due to them being so addictive, which I understand.

He has now prescribed me trazodone 50mg 3 times daily. I don't have trouble sleeping so I'm unsure when to take them? Most things I've read about them say take them before bed to help with insomnia but it's not sleep I struggle with, it's day to day anxiety. Should I take them throughout the day or before bed? I'm confused but don't want them to sedate me during the day!

Thanks.
