User Reviews for trazodone oral

This drug has been a life changer for me. I would be up 3-4 times per night for the last 2 years, and would be so exhausted during the day. It took several days to start working, but now I wake up refreshed every morning and have slept through the night since taking it. I feel great throughout the day and an added bonus is that I have lost weight in the last month. I don't feel the need to graze all day long. I take 50mg per day, right before bed.

I have not experienced any side effects from this medication. However, it has not been effective in helping me sleep. My insomnia has been s life long problem. I really can't take sleeping pills, because, I am a type one insulin dependent diabetic And, I am Hypoglycemic Unaware. So Trazazone is really the only only medication I can use

Trazadone is horrible. I need a sleeping pill but my doctor prescribed Trazadone which is an antidepressant. I felt betrayed and tricked. I used it for a month and felt like a zombie the whole time

I've been taking this medication for about 2 years and have had side effects all over the place. I take this medication for sleep and it works ok I've had to keep upping the dose about every 6 months. Side effects: Blurry vision, "noodle arms" (carrying objects like a book or pan hurt) Horrible night terrors to the point I don't want to go to sleep. Nausea, migraines that can last days at a time, and being very dizzy

Dr prescribed Trazadone to replace Serdep. Trazadone worsened the depression and triggered suicidal thoughts. I felt like I was loosing my mind. Weened myself off it and changed back to Serdep and I feel soooo much better!!

Quit alcohol trazadone keeps my urges away from alcohol

9/25/2023 . Let me start by saying that trazadone worked well for me ( 100 mg at bedtime ). I started this drug Dec . 2022). Little did I know I was poisoning myself and in May 2023 I ended up in the hospital with stage 4 liver failure and qualified for a liver transplant . My liver , pancreas and gallbladder were affected with so much inflammation it was hard to tell what damage has been done permanently. $90,000.00 later after a 4 night hospital stay, tests , MRIs and a liver biopsy I am still not out of the woods . Thankfully I have insurance. I see my Gastroenterologist in October 2023 for a full blood lab and another ultrasound of my liver . I am hoping at this point I do not have significant damage to any of my internal organs .I stopped taking trazadone immediately for I knew it had to be the culprit . My life has been turned upside down , I was writing my obituary and getting my finances together . My Doctor who prescribed this medication never monitored my blood which should have been done . I was not feeling sick but my fiancé said I was very lethargic for months . I felt it was winter blues or my hormones. When my eyes turned yellow I knew I was in trouble .Immediately stopping this drug my critical numbers in my blood slowly started to decline . Please take this drug with caution - or don’t take it at all! Have your blood monitored. I have learned to be so careful of what I put in my body - please think twice about being prescribed this drug . My friend got this same drug prescribed for her dogs anxiety . I would not even give it to an animal . I was given less than 40% chance of leaving the hospital alive . Had I waited another week to see a doctor I would not have survived . Read More Read Less

After a brief hiatus off of the med I’m now back on it, I’ve had pretty bad insomnia most of my life and this is one of the few medications that actually lets me go to sleep. The side effects are there, I feel a little groggy when I start my mornings, I get dry mouth before bed and I’m having a little diarrhea while my body readjusts to the medication. However it’s worth it, it helps my mind stop racing at night which I desperately need and doesn’t interact negatively with my other antidepressants.Read More Read Less

Worst medication there is 2 hours sleep per night only took 4 tablets there auful would give 0/10

I take traz 100mg for insomnia. It’s the only medication that can make me sleepy without making my restless leg syndrome issues act up(tingles in joints. Impossible to fall asleep with). I really like trazadone because once It kicks in I can start falling asleep without feeling dizzy or sick. It also keeps me from waking up 10 times a night. My only complaint is sometimes I SWEAR some of the pills are duds. Sometimes there is zero affect. It’s odd. This past week I took my dose for 4 nights in a row with zero effect. Then on the 5th night the drowsiness kicked in like it’s supposed to. It doesn’t feel like a built up tolerance. It just seems like some of the pills don’t have drug in them. It’s weird. Otherwise, trazadone allows me to get a good nights sleep without feeling messed up and groggy in the morning. Read More Read Less

I started Trazodone (3 times a day at the same time)for major depressive disorder, severe anxiety and trouble sleeping. Since starting this medication (fairly recent) my mood has improved tremendously, energy levels have increased, anxiety has improved and when I take my last dose of the day before bed, I actually fall asleep faster and stay asleep. I have no side effects from Trazodone and nothing negative to say, only positive feedback. After trying several other medications that didn't work, I am very happy I finally found one that works for me!Read More Read Less

I suffer from insomnia and it is the only medication that allows me to have a decent night of rest

I've had insomnia since I was a kid. I started taking trazodone at least 25 years ago. Trazodone has made me a happy regular sleeper. I usually fall asleep quickly and stay asleep. I've had friends who have felt knocked out by it. But for me, it's made a big impact on my quality of life.

With chronic conditions, they jam antidepressants down our throats claiming they will help for so many "off label" uses. Very rarely they actually explain some possible side effects such as anxiety, depression, nausea, etc, they NEVER explain that just like the desired effects of the meds, the side effects also take time to start and to build up. You're not just super anxious or depressed or vomiting the next day. Could be weeks or months. So by then you never suspect this antidepressant they force down your throat is what's causing these horrible side effects. For 13 YEARS I suffered from constantly worsening debilitating nausea and feeling like I could constantly vomit. I stopped taking it and the nausea was immediately gone. But also was the horrendous debilitating anxiety that had been plaguing me all these years. had me wound tighter than 1000lbs spring. Lost everybody in my life due to it. Including my son and granddaughter, only happiness left in my life. Does anybody else find it interesting that then whenever we complain about a new symptom or wanting further testing in the future, all these doctors claim we're just depressed. But then guess what, how much can we argue because we all just happen to be on antidepressants?!?! Just a coincidence, I don't think so.Read More Read Less

50 mg didn’t work at all so I took two 50 mg. It only made me sleepy but I still couldn’t sleep. I took Three 50 mg tablets, I was finally able to sleep well. When I finished all the 30 tablet, I was prescribed 150 mg (a whole tablet). It didn’t work at all! I took it for 2 nights no, it didn’t work at all. What’s the difference between taking 3- 50mg tabs and taking one150mg tablet? That puzzles me.

Trazadone caused my heart to malfunction. Put me in the ER twice. I had no idea that Trazadone was the problem until I stopped taking it. I say this with 100% certainty. That's just me. Hopefully, your experience is not the same.
