Just some drug info...

Trazodone isnt a safe drug, It's base use was for cocaine withdrawal short term and causes the same side effects, in men priapism, im woman, menstruation problems. Overal, Remeron was picked as the better drug...

If your practitioner didnt tell you this, someone mentioned you were taking nuerontin? It's generic name is (gabapentin) so it works on the brain very partial as xanax does. Dont abruptly stop taking this drug because you're going to one confused individual, not knowing why the way you feel and what caused it. Neurontin withdrawal will make you feel very anxious.

Lisa, good advise.

[QUOTE=X User]ToF, I have never heard or seen what you say about Trazadone. Granted, I only took it for 5 days, so I am not that worried, but it my understanding that its base use is depression. Can you elaborate and source as to why it is unsafe?

Trazodone is a classified Antidepressant but "A" typical, It's VERY sedating. 5 days seems right I was talking prolonged use. "It's cheap".... that's the only advantage of it. Remeron now has a generic (Mirtazapine) so it's not over expensive, it doesnt cause unwated side effects, like what i mentioned above, it doesnt tear up your stomach so you can take it w/o food and it can be used prolonged. You take it at night, it puts your butt right to sleep, calms you down, and doesnt give you that hang over feeling trazodone does but stabilizes your mood during the next day. If you want to know my credentials LOL :) , I was blew my pharmacology degree by digging in the cookie jar, hence im a loser.... but I never stood astray from the other "practitioners" that were more productive. :)
