The doc gave me 75mg trazodone, to be increased to 150mg, for depression. After reading on this board that it is very sedating, I took 50mg for the first week to see how I got used to it. It seemed to brighten me up, but as the week went on my limbs became heavier and heavier during the day. I could barely lift my foot to put a sock on, and when I sat down I could hardly get up.
It was so annoying that I stopped taking the drug. But would these heavy limb side effects disappear in a couple of weeks? I was fearful to take any more in case I couldn't even get out of bed as time went on!
Have you had this effect?
Thanks for any feedback!
