      How many milligrams do you take? I am afraid of side effects. Thank you.

    None of these side effects would stop me from using my Trazadone. It has been a lifesaver for me

    It was working well for me but I kept having to raise my dose and now I’m at the point I can’t go higher without fear of side effects

    150mg may be too much for some people, 10mg is enough for me to sleep 10 hours 😂😂

    I'm 50/50 with this. It's nice and all for my sleeping issues, just keeps me either dreamless or having weird or bad dreams. But idc, I'd rather have gore in my dreams rather than having constant depressive episodes

    Unfortunately, this drug caused leg spasms for me that would keep me awake for hours. I didn't correlate these spasms to the trazadone for several months, thinking they were "just" anxiety.

    How about Weight Gain on Trazodone??

    • @sad.m0r0n
      @sad.m0r0n Před 6 měsíci +3

      Okay, sorry for being late on this. It causes weight gain - most antidepressants do. However, you'll feel more motivated, so you can exercise and eat healthy to manage a certain weight. For me, I drop weight because of my ADHD medicine causing a low appetite. Once you start though, you'll probably worry less about weight. Of course, if you're worried about that for health reasons, you can always do your best to change to a certain life style

    I only take 50 mg for three months and I am so pissed off. I feel like crap and I am depressed. Can I stop taking it without withdrawals? I hate that med.

    • @linnie813
      @linnie813 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Feel the same, l don't know about your situation, but l stopped them before I told doctor not to refill it.
      IT did not help me, made me feel awful.

    • @sad.m0r0n
      @sad.m0r0n Před 6 měsíci

      Please lower it slowly with guidance from a professional. I get hating psychiatrists, but it's safest. And don't ever stop it, the withdrawals suck ass.

    • @frogdogink4415
      @frogdogink4415 Před 5 měsíci +1

      @Rich-po2hl as it Alters your sleep patterns it also has an effect on your moods, which can create more problems with those around you. Side effects are often mistaken for something else entirely. Again everyone has different reactions to different meds. If it works for you great, but after stopping this medication, for me was a Wake up little Suzi moment. I wish you well.
