I use Mozarin in the morning and Trazodone 100mg (half-sleep) for sleep from 2 months. As the sleep problems subsided, the doctor recommended that you give up Trazodone. After weaning (4day) I feel bad, nervousness clogging of the ears, diarrhea. Can the tablet Trazodone 100can be divided into quarters and reduce the dose more gently - the doctor did not mention this

According to the package leaflet, a 100mg tablet of trazodone contains a dividing line, and each half contains 50 mg of trazodone hydrochloride. However, there is no dividing line into quarters. It is not a mistake to divide the tablet, but a tablet cutter will be useful here. This device will facilitate the division of the tablet into two equal parts. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/108874/przecinarka-do-tabletek-el-comp-przyrzad/apteki

According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, when discontinuing treatment with Trazodone, especially when used for a long time, it is recommended to gradually reduce the dose until complete discontinuation to minimise withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, headache and malaise. If in your case there are undesirable withdrawal symptoms, you can return to using the drug and take, for example, half every other day. And the detailed scheme of completing Traodon therapy should be discussed with your doctor. I enclose a detailed description of the preparation that you are taking: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/99760/trazodone-neuraxpharm-tabletki/ulotka/248358
