Re: To all who have tried trazadone

[Guest guest]

I'm a new member and have not been able to do my intro due to the storms that

were here in SC but I have taken Trazadone and had not one single side effect.

It helped me with sleeping and I loved it. :c) I have little ones and was

still able to get up with them in the night if I had to. Sometimes I still woke

up in the night but when I fell back to sleep it was 'good' sleep and I woke

feeling very rested.

I usually cut my pills in half but the doc said that was fine..

Hope that helps and I will try and get my intro done today or tomorrow..today is

just not a good day and I'm really tired.. :c(

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to

certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't

be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that

situation better.

Have a nice day everyone.

Hi Decnie,

My first time on trazadone scared me to death..!! Atarted out at 150

mg. at HS...WOW Glad I was in bed because when it kicked in I felt

like I was going under anesthesia!! Really.. My last thought before

I literaly passed out was I hope I keep breathing.....Never so happy

to wake up in the morning than I was that one. After decreasing the

dose...and being a little goggy in the morning I started waking up

so alert and rested that I thought it was a God Send...then we had

to slowly keep upping the dose to get the sleep cycle right and

finally it quit working agter about 1 1/2 years... Stil have it but

take doxipin now and if I really have trouble sleeping I add a

trazadone. Hope this helps.

Just me... K

Thanks for the quick reply! :-) Unfortunately I had a bad experience

with Elavil almost twenty yrs ago. So that one is not an option for

me.

Has anyone else ever felt restless and then hungover on Trazadone? The doctor did say one or 2 pills at bedtime so maybe the 50mg wasn't enough to get me to sleep?

I stopped taking traz because of exactly the same problem -- feeling hung over the next day, usually ALL day. It completely SUCKED -- and, at the time, I was working a full-time job, six part-time jobs, AND going to grad school...so feeling this way for me wasn't an option.

Docs have since put me on it a couple of other times for other things; same problem, again and again. I refuse to take it anymore, period.
