Default Trazadone for sleep - makes it worse?

So my neuro gave me Trazodone, 50 mg before bedtime. I've only used it the past 3 days and already feel like not only is it not helping, it's making it worse (worse fatigue and headaches). Has anyone else had this experience with Trazadone? How long should I give it before I can say "it's definitely not helping"?
