After taking trazadone for nearly a year, I've developed visual trails (stipes of flashing lights at the margins of my vision and a strobe-like after-image if I move my hand across my field of vision). These happen if I wake up at night or occasionally in the morning if I haven't slept quite enough. I've read the info in Psychopharmacology Tips about visual trails, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with them. Did they get worse over time? Did they go away if you stopped taking the med that caused them? (I'm a little freaked out because one of the posts in Tips equates them to visual disturbances caused by brain damage from LSD (which I've never taken). Any info much appreciated. Thanks.
