User Reviews for Desyrel oral

it works great for insomnia but you can build up a resistance so you need more

treatment working well

I was prescribed this drug, 50 mg, for severe, chronic, menopausal-related insomnia. Ambian, Lunesta and all herbal rememdies have been ineffective. After reading all the reviews I was hopeful. However, after only two nights, I will no longer be taking this medication. Within about 30 minutes of taking the drug, my heart started racing. I was unable to fall asleep in a reasonable length of time. Once I did, I kept waking every 30 minutes or so, all night. This morning, I woke to a terrible headache, swollen eyelids and swollen fingers. Yesterday, during the day I experienced moderate agitation at work. I am happy this drug works for most folks. I recommend a person tries it for severe insomnia if prescribed. It is quite terrible to go w/o good quality sleep for so long. I hope I will find it someday. Read More Read Less

Dry mouth and ringing in the ears.

I hate that it clogs my sinuses up, I can not breath at all out of my nose, have to breathe out of my mouth and it cause constipation too. Didnt help me sleep at all, dont know if I will continue it.

this medication can be very harmful. my mothers doctor prescribed her a large doseage and i thought it was alot but i didnt say anything. my mother didnt wake up one morning. her autopsy came back and it turned out this is waht killed her.

use to help me sleep continueous through the night.

been on this med since 2002 after my CVA. cannot say enough good things about it. had been taking it twice a day but doctor changed it to 100mg at betime

Given this med as a way to deal with PTSD and get more then a couple hours sleep a night. Take 150 mg about 20 minutes before bed and it works great. First time I have slept through the night in over a year. Wake up a litte muffled headed but it wears off within 30 minutes or less. Eating seems to help a great deal. This drug has been the greatest of all meds I have tired.

I started taking 50 mg and was able to take only 25 mg and still get improved quality sleep. I still wake up at times but am not tossing and turning for hours. Seems alittle goes a long way.

I've been taking 75 mg of trazadone for 22 years I take it at bedtime with 2 mg of klonipin. It works well with the 2 combined but I don't think it would do anything alone.

When I take only 25mg for sleep i have been experiencing very vivid nightmares.

Has gave me halluations weakness,nervesness, extreme memory loss. shakie, feelings like im not in my body !!!! loss of vision. gradually increacing my migraines.

Most effective anti-depressant that I have ever used.

I am considering changing from Citalopram to Trazodone. Does Trazodone cause sexual dysfunction in men?

I have taken this medication for approx 30 years with no difficulties.

I suffered chorinic insomnia for a month and I took desyrel 50 mg,but the 50mg dosage was not enough so I increased to 100 mg and needing to increase to 150 mg. Since then I am able to sleep and sleeping 6 to 7 hours.

I am unable to take most other antidepresents because of their side effects of excessive sweating, flushing or diaphorisis. Traz works ok...it keeps me from being suicidal but still does not really make me the person I was, or am when on an SSRI. It's very sedating, and the dimensions of the pills are sharp and hard to swallow.
