RE: Question for a friend ! ! !

January 26, 2008

Christi I was on Amitriptyline for 19 yrs. and was switched to Trazadone by

mistake by a fill in shrink and it would put me to sleep but I would wake up

shortly after. It works very well for some and not at all for others. Drs. like

to experiement w/thier patients in order to find out what works. I personally

think they should avoid such antidepressants just for sleep due to side effects.

Ambien and Lunest or Rozerum should be tried 1st. Rozerum may be best from what

I've read and what my shrink told me. However if a person has ever taken Ambien

or Lunesta Rozerum most likely wont work according to my shrink. I hope you find

the best answers for your friend.

GOD Bless ! ! ! . . .

Question for a friend

I have a friend that was diagnosed several years ago with fibro and used to take

pain meds, but has not done so in a while. We have been talking and she told me

that she is ready to see about at least getting something to use when it gets

real bad or possibly something to use to help keep the pain in the background so

she can function.Her main concern is she takes a AD (trazadone) and is not sure

what can be taken with that.I told her I would ask with permission if any of my

new friends on this board take trazadone and if so, what pain meds do you take

with it? She is concerned with them not working like they should.Thanks for any

help.Christi in Texas

Thanks . I don't think she is taking it for sleep though.
