Hi sdb:
I now got a good answer to my 'puzzle' after having read the following:--- The trazodone blocks (downregulate) alpha receptors and this can cause relaxation of smooth muscle (for example bladder muscle, benefit for people with paruresis) and more pounding heart. ----
Before the Trazodone, I needed to make several trips to the bathroom during 8-10 hours' sleep because of the Lithium which makes me drink a lot of liquid throughout the day. Even the Serzone/nefadozone didn't help a bit on this regard, ... however thanks to 'Trazodone,' this problem/nocturia seems finally came to the end.
Besides this, if you don't mind, ... could I ask a question, ....
After I took the 300 mg. Trazodone for three days/nights, my depression seems MUCH better. Do you think this, 'temp. dosage' made some 'jump'(like 'jump-start' on car?) on my depression?
Thanks for your 'educational' information on Trazodone.
H.G.
