Thank you for telling me your experience with trazodone. It helps to know it's worked well for you.
I do realize the difference in the types and kinds and probabilities of different potential side effects. Trazodone has some biggies that, on the surface, look scary; but, those don't worry me so much, because they are rare. I mentioned the nightmares because they are listed a *common* and they're a problem I have already. So, that worries me....mainly because I have them about things that happened when I was a kid and they're horrible and I don't want anything to make them worse....I can barely tolerate them as they are.
As for my T, I'm not wanting to run. I'm really sorry if what I wrote implied that because it's not at all what I meant. I like her in a whole bunch of ways. It's just that medication related issues are where a lot of my trust issues with her come from and she knows that. And because of that I'd think it'd be pretty clear to her how important complete disclosure is.
Of course, she may have just been throwing trazodone out there as an example of something that's helped other patients, and not as a recommendation. Whatever the case, you're exactly right, it's something we'll need to talk about.
Thank you again for writing. Knowing your experience helps. I'm not trying to knock any particular med, or meds in general; I just felt like maybe she was trying to "pull the wool over my eyes," so to speak.
