In reply to I've started Trazdone 50mg (misspelled)/ info?, posted by mmcconathy on February 26, 2005, at 22:25:35
Hi:
Trazodone is an older form of A.D., but mostly using for 'sleep' aid. However, in my case, ... having started out on 50 mg. before the bed, it was a 'miracle' drug in terms of 'sleep well,' however as time went by, I started having some dreams which interprets my 'sound' sleep. Even after seven to eight months, I still have this problem, but it might originate from other meds. such as a potent med., Zyprexa 5 mg., not from the Trazodone.For me, Trazodone has both efficacy, A.D. and 'sleep-aid' along with Anxiety brought on by Bp depression. However, if you'd like to get a good A.D. efficacy from the Trazodone, you need to take at least 150 mg. My pdoc. initially rx'ed the 300 mg. Traz., but at this 'mass' dosage, I migh nevera be able to wake up next day. So, I went on my own which my pdoc. accepted. Since then, I've settled down at the 150 mg. - 250 mg.(according my daily moods/acitivies) in conjuction with Bupropion ER 300 mg. This combo. is, for me, a 'life-saver' on my Bp depression, not perfect, but at satisfactory range.
Lastly, one thing you may need to do, ... to 'drink a lot of water' or any liquid, if you get 'dry mouth,' and other S.E.s, from the Trazodone.
