> Hey all: Doc wants to change my meds to just one, Trazodone. I've looked it up on the net and in books and it always says the same thing all the other AD's say. So, I'm looking for the scoop from those of you who are actually on it or have had experience with it.
> Thanks everyone. I hope you are all well.
> TinaSo far the responses to your post about Trazodone have been pretty positive. But just to show you how different we all respond to the same med, here's my experience with Trazodone...severe headaches, horrible nightmare filled restless sleep, general malaise. A lot like the flu.
It is a rather sedating med, so it is sometimes prescribed to help with insomnia. It isn't used much as a stand alone med. Doses for that are much higher than doses for insomnia, and side effects usually prevent someone from being able to take the dosage needed.
