Trazodone Priapism

Posted by MuseMemento on June 24, 2016, at 12:54:51

I took trazodone 50 mg last night for the first time as a sleep aid. The actual effective dose would be considerably higher as I took it alongside fluvoxamine which raises the plasma levels of trazodone via cyp3a4 inhibition. Anyway, I seem to have experienced subclinical priapism, i.e. semi-erections for prolonged periods that were not associated with arousal and didn't subside as a result of orgasm. Hours later, I can still feel the result of engorgement. The trazodone also didn't assist me falling asleep but ensured I am now feeling hungover and would have been too sedated to have gone to the ER had the priapism been worse. Is it worth continuing to take the trazodone or should I discontinue it lest it become worse?

Thanks, CE. That was my inclination, as well.

Stop it immediately. Priapism isn't good for your sexual health.

I know how it feels, i get it from a2-agonists like clonidine, and it's hurtful and embarrassing to have to go to ER several nights because of it.

I have it now to, the semi version of it, on methadone, and it hurts sometimes and i hate it because if someone looks, you can see it through my pants when i'm outside.
But for me it's that or heroin, and then i chose methadone.

In your case i would just change the medicine.

I have connected it to when my blood vessels dilate, smoothens and when my blood pressure is normal/low.


It worsens my social anxiety and rumination about that girls thinks that i want to have intercourse with them. So for most of the time i just stay at home when it happens (It's not to often, but like 4 times a week for 1-2 hours, and it's not arousing as you say, it's hurtful)..

Stop it!!
