Hi Tony C.:
On my previous visit, about three weeks ago, my pdoc. 'recommended' Trazodone, because partly, in my guess, he 'believed' I have a 'good' tolerance to this med., as knowking that I've been taking a potent A.D., such as Zyprexa, WB sr and more. Besides this, I developed 'intense thirst' about which my pdoc. suspected on Nefadozone, mass dosage, 450 mg.Besides this, here where I live, there are 'a lot' of 'law-sue' against docotors, especially genecologisit/obsterician. I can NOT blame my pdoc. started his 'safety' net,... not rx any of those 'risky' psycho. med., because there is no evidence/proof for him NOT to get sued. When his patients got angry over his practice/rx, he/she might choose 'money' hungry tactics, ... get a hefty money out of the doctor.
However, I am a long-term(around 4 years) patient, then he may trust me on this matter. However, if he 'thinks' I'm able to switch more 'safer' and 'no risky' med., Trazodone, then his advice is VERY understandable.
My next visit is around early September. On my next visit, I will definitely talk about 'Serzone/Nefadozone' issue more adamantly. Because, like you, I can NOT afford to lose this med., Nefadozone at least until I get more stabilized. Trazodone is a good older A.D., however it seems a kind 'side-effect,' ... sedative/hang-over next day is not recommendable to some of folks. Thus, I've still on Nefadozone 150 mg., rather just on Trazodone 300 mg. which my pdoc. intially rxed.
Up to now, that's all I can say about Nefadozone issue. I, too, do my VERY best to keep Nefadozone on the market whether I take it or not in the future.
H.G.
