In reply to Trazodone: any experiences?, posted by Vincent on December 18, 2001, at 18:06:37
I took it just one night and it helped immediately with anxiety and sleep but I was too tired the next day. I probably could have adjusted the dose and stayed on it. A lot of people are very happy with it as a sleeping pill. It's not physically addictive and from what I recall reading, you generally do not need to increase the dose over time. Aside from causing daytime tiredness in some people, it can also cause priasm in a small percentage of males (prolonged erection). If this occurs for a few hours, then the person should go to the emergency room for treatment.

> Does anyone have any personal experience using Trazodone? I just started taking a bit of it at night and it seems to be antianxiety & pro sleep. Just want to know what your experiences have been with side effects and success.
