Trazodone is a more potent alpha-1 antagonist.
Are you going after the urinary retention?This doesn't sound like a bad combo if I can
keep the anti-muscarinic side effects from
killing me.A little more research into histamine-1 blockade
indicates that it faciliates the release of
serotonin. Does this imply that allergies can
diminish serotonin release? Anyways one of
Trazodones metabolites is something called mCPP.
This is a direct agonist of the serotonin receptor.
So basically all bets are off as to what the
presynaptic receptor is doing. Then the medicine
blocks the postsypantic 5ht-2 receptor. Maybe
all this gets around a foobar histamine system.
Interesting. If I could get Serzone or Trazodone
to work I would be home free.-John
