Fly,

Thanks for chiming in with your Trezadone comments. I can't help but

think it will help me, and make a big difference! I find it easy to

understand why I have fibro, and it really is a great relief for me

to say to friends/family that it isn't in my head. And knowing that

something so simple as getting enough decent sleep will help!

I don't intend to have much clearer thoughts, but maybe they'll stay

with me for a few more minutes! LOL As my mom says, thinking gets

us in trouble, so why do it??? :-)

Hi Deborah...

I take 50 mg of trazadone....but it doesn't seem to help. Maybe I will ask doc about the others that you take.

Thanks..a

[Guest guest]

Hiya!

Had to jump in when I saw Trazadone mentioned. In lower dosages

it's prescribed as a sleep aid (much cheaper than Ambien!), and this

one place I worked literally every client used it at night. They all

seemed to do just fine with it. When I was prescribed it a few years

ago for sleep I got massive migraines from it. Apparently that's one

of the possible side effects. So it didn't work so well for me.

I don't see it prescribed too often for depression anymore, at least

not with my clients. But from what I've seen it seems to make a

person sleepy no matter what. I've seen clients who were prescribed

to take Trazadone three times a day, and they were complete zombies.

They couldn't keep their eyes open. I'm sure it works for some

people, but wow Trazadone really seems to knock lots of people out!

Just wanted to share experiences about a med that I at least have some

idea about. A lot of the other meds being mentioned I don't have

experience with so I can't chime in, and I do love to talk!

I could never take trazadone I'm sure. The 0.5 Ativan I'm taking is enough

to make me tired. It also gives me a headache. ( I do not wish to take

it anymore but am tired of the chest pain. Today I'm so sick and nauseous

and dizzy and still the chest pain. I'm waiting on a call back from the doc

to see if there is any help for me. My husband thinks I'm so sick because

of withdrawals from the Lex and the Ativan but how could I withdraw from

Ativan when all I take is one 0.5 miligram tablet at night? I was only on

the Lex for one month too. ( At this point I don't want to take anything

more than a Tylenol for the next 3 months!

Thanks for listening to my vent. LOL

THanks Jen for your input. I have never taken

Trazadone but I ran accross it on the internet and was

reading a little on it. I definitely don't want it if

knocks me out. If amitryptaline has comparable

effects like zombied out then I would not like it.

That is why I like Lexapro because I feel alert and

mentally sharper.

I was prescribed trazadone as a sleep aid, and it certainly worked well as just

that; A sleep aid. HOWEVER, it gave me terrible nightmares, which is why I

could no longer take it.

Oooooh, I have the funky dreams as well that's for sure! I wake up thinking

" what the heck? " I don't get to sleep at all now unless I take the one

Ativan. Kinda sad but I need my sleep. (

Meryl,

Online drug and, medical sites and doctors unanimously confirm it's not

addictive. But it does help you fall asleep, so if you don't take it

you don't fall asleep as easily. If it were addictive and you stopped

abruptly, you'd have other troublesome withdrawal symptoms: anything

from pronounced body restlessness to nightmares to irritibility,

weepiness, and more. What I can't find is anyone stating that it helps

you sleep through the night. A number of people I know say that with

just about any sleeping aide, after a few hours of solid sleep they may

wake and not feel sleepy, not be able to get back to sleep. That was

the advantage, for example, of Halcion for long flights—you'd wake up

after 3hrs with no hangover and feeling refreshed! Trazodone does

appear to produce drowsiness during the daytime in some—I imagine the

higher the dose, the more that's true. I'm going to try to stop and

see if I feel more awake during the day--and if my memory improves!
