Hi, i was on trazadone for a short while whilst i was in hospital.
I think 150mg was the dose i was on too. I know its one of the older types of anti depressants, Its also VERY sedating so good if you have problems sleeping, it is sometimes used to treat insomnia (which it realy helped me with phraps a bit too much!) - for these reasons its recomeded to be taken at night.
I also have an eating disorder, so had similar concerns about weight gain for going on it, however my consultant told me it wasnt one of the major side effects.
Personally i wasnt on it long enough to find out if it was effective, i was only on it for a week. For me it heavily sedated me to the point i could not walk when i got up in the morning, i had to co-ordination and it made me very sick. not a pleasnt time - espicialy as it was my 16th birthday =/ lol
Anyway, all medication effect people differently and im sure youre doctor knows what hes doing putting you on it. Hopefully it will help you! its got a good reputation.
take care
