Guest guest Posted June 4, 1999 Report Share Posted June 4, 1999 >I was wondering if anyone has tried using trazodone (? Hi , I was on trazadone last year. It worked good for several months - I was sleeping well and the only problem was a little bit of hangover in the morning. However, I began having lots of trouble with nausea that progressed to vomiting. Lots of stomach pain, too. I ended up having a gall bladder ultrasound done because of the severe pain. Luckily, it was just the trazadone. Once I quit taking the med, all the symptoms went away. So just be aware of these side effects just in case. I hope the increased dose works for you! , 35, Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 1999 Report Share Posted June 4, 1999 To and and All, I have taken Trazadone (not every night, about every other night) to help me sleep for several years (along with Sinemet) - I have not noticied any problems or side effects. It is a little harder to wake up on the mornings after I take it, but I manage and it does help me rest.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 Is there any one here who wakes up most mornings with a headache so bad that you cannot move your head. You just have to lay there until you can think. I use to get up with those headaches but I found out that I couldn't think, and I would run into doors, and the wall, so I just started easing my way to the surface, and sometimes, I still have to lay there for a half an hour. re: Trazadone Trazadone isn't a sleeping pill. It is an antidepressant that promotes sleep. I've been taking it for 10 years and it helps me so much. It is not addicting and doesn't have a lot of side affects. The only one I experienced was a dry mouth and nose. I drink a lot of water which helps with general health anyway. I also use a humidifier in the house if it bothers me much but over the years the dryness has subsided and I don't notice it now. Over 10 years I have increased the dosage 100mg and am very satisfied with the results. Different meds work for different folks.... ladybugg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Are you taking any other anti-depressants with it? My doctor just put me on it and I am also on 40 mg of Prozac. re: Trazadone Trazadone isn't a sleeping pill. It is an antidepressant that promotes sleep.
