Common Questions and Answers about Ativan and trazodone

Avatar n tn that's a really low dose of Ativan and Ativan generally takes quite awhile to take effect, possibly an hour or two. I've tried trazodone too and that doesn't do much either - it's an antidepressant with sedation as a side effect, so they figure it will work but a lot of times it doesn't. If the trazodone doesn't work don't bother with it.
Avatar f tn I have taken Ativan, Trazodone, and unisom to help me sleep before. My doc switch the Celexa from morning to nighttime tonight. And I was taking Ativan 3x a day now only at night or when needed. I also worried about Ativan withdrawal, side effects, or interactions on all these meds together. Any comments or advice will be accepted. I'm experiencing rebound insomina, and mild to moderate shakiness in hands, cold sweat, and tinnitus.
Avatar f tn I came off xanax and switched for Ativan. I was also taking Paxil. Then I was put on Klonopin with the ativan and trazodone for the sleeping problems. For me it worked very well. I came off the ativan and am now on Trazodone, Klonopin, Paxil and Inderal. Now I use to fall asleep within ten minutes of taking them. Then it didnt seem to work as well at all.
672389 tn?1226138251 He put me on 1mg of ativan before bed and described me as having anticipatory anxiety. This was mildly effective at first, but it seems like when I'm lying in bed I keep going over the stressors in my life in my mind like a slide show one after the other. My Dr. reffered me to a psychologist and they decided to put me on Celexa. The psychotherapy with the psychologist is a nice outlet to discuss my stressors in life and she told me that I need to learn to live more in the grey.
563659 tn?1310517917 im currently on 450 mg a day as well as 200 mg trazodone for depression and 0.5 ativan (as needed) for panic attacks personally i would love to throw the lot of them out but am scared of any withdrawal issues.
Avatar m tn SINCE BEGINNING SUBOXONE TREATMENT AFTER WD FROM METHADONE AND ATIVAN-I'VE ONLY SLEPT 3 & 4 HRS FOR PAST 18 DAYS. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A CONTRAINDICATION BETWEEN SUBOXONE, GABAPENTIN (300)MG AND TRAZADONE. DOC THOT I SHOULD SLEEP WITH GABAPENTIN BUT NOT. CAN YOU HELP ME ( WON'T SEE DOC TILL MON.) ALSO---I BOUGHT SOME OTC BELLADONA AND WONDERED IF THIS WOULD INTERFERE.
Avatar n tn I had anxiety before going to bed so I took ativan. I also took my seroquel and trazodone. Will I be ok?
726698 tn?1249781717 Hey! Just called the doc and got 100mg Trazodone, Hopefully this will work tonight :) Yeah, I used to do the Dramamine too, Same thing happened too me, I didn't like that stuff after about a week. Have you ever tried Ambien cr ???
Avatar f tn t know if exercise has anything to do with this anyways. I did go back to usual dose of the remeron and trazodone, scratched the tapering down for now, and am also taking the Ativan. I slept a lot last night but am in a medication fog today. Oh well. How are you doing? Hope you are doing well!
Avatar n tn Hi all, I'm a 28 y/o male and I've had a history of panic attacks (on 40mg Celexa for it). I've been pretty good, but about 2 weeks ago I came into a bout of insomnia (stress from work and grad school). My doc wrote me a scrip for 150mg of Trazodone. I've never had Trazodone before and the literature I've read seems to indicate 150mg out of nowhere is a high dose. Opinions? Anyone worked with this stuff before?
15481674 tn?1440853541 Yesterday morning i took my thyroid pill on an empty stomach, then around 6 i took my famotidine i ate breakfast around 7 and i took a 1mg of Ativan, and My Losartan 100mg which is a blood pressure pill and Amlodipine 2.5mg which is a small dose, also my Metformin after breakfast too. All day i felt tired i was feeling weak like i was going to fall out and i was crying a lot.
Avatar n tn t hurt too much to combine Ambien, Trazodone, and/or Ativan - except REALLY strong sedation, and you could injure yourself. I'd start with the Trazodone alone and see if it works for you, if you think you will need something long-term it's the only one that won't put you on a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, withdrawls, etc.
Avatar f tn In 2nd week of Feb they got 120 of the Lortabs and 8 days later filled 200 Tramadols. By the end of the month, they are all gone now. Also Ativan, Ambien and Trazodone. These aren't gobbled up as fast unless they run out. And, yes they do have an addictive personality. Has been (0r is - just not drinking - an alcoholoc) in treatment many, many years ago. Im so sick of it I can't stand it anymore.
Avatar m tn gave them to me for anxiety ans spasams didnt like them at all to much of a zombie for me, so i told him that i didnt care for them and so he started me on the trazodone for anxiety and insominia i take i50 mg twice a day and it has really done well by me it also is the bomb for the creepy crawly rls. it is also used for depression/ bipolar and forcocaine withdrawal. i also take seraquil 200 mg twice a day. i sleep just fine and stay asleep too. talk to your dr.
Avatar f tn I have been on duragesic pain patches 25 mcg for almost two years. I switched back to my regular doctor since they were gone for over 18 months. I have been taking Norco 10s 8 per day, and ativan and lithium and flexeril and trazodone. My new doctor doesn't think I should be on the patch since I am only 39. However, I was in a tragic automobile accident three years ago and almost died. I suffered fractures of T3 4 5, Fratuctres C 7, could have been paralyzed, but lucky.
1327000 tn?1274929246 i'm on geodon, lamictal, amitryptiline, trazodone, and occasionally ativan or xanax for anxiety... are these meds safe to take while prego? i'm 8 weeks & 3 days.
Avatar f tn real green chinese teas/full of theanine to relax is wonderful..1/4 of a phenegan is often used for anxiety...some ADs like elavil and trazodone help this as well..exercise is my best stress reducer...google on stress reducers -- herbals non habit forming medications...
Avatar f tn I was also taking Zoloft and the two combined was perfect. That doctor ended her practice and I ended up at a different dr. who prescribed me ativan and Zoloft, would not prescribe me the valium. Adventually I came off the Zoloft due to the side effects. The Ativan did its job for awhile but i was taking "too" much a day according to him so he just put me on Klonopin 4mg per day.
Avatar f tn Congrats on tapering and a quit date! Sounds like you are all set to go. Be careful with the Valium, the Ativan and the Pot. Don't put yourself in a position to get addicted to something else. Best of luck and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn But, in the meantime, you may want to try going on Paxil or Zoloft for anxiety. If the anxiety makes it hard to sleep, try Trazodone. Paxil and Zoloft are most commonly used for depression, but they are used for anxiety as well. Trazadone has been around forever and is very safe as far as medictions go. Whatever you do, please don't take Ativan or any of those hardcore drugs, you'll regret it. In any case, keep me updated and you're going to be totally fine :) Seriously.
Avatar n tn I have recently been given an R. For Trazodone 50mg and waiting to know if anyone else is taking it.
2065212 tn?1334584906 t need the Klonopin but for tonight,just take the trazodone and ask the doctor about it in the morning. The trazodone will get you drowsy so I wouldn't take them together.
Avatar m tn I have never taken these two particular antidepressants together and there is nothing to indicate that they are contraindicated. Like all meds, we each react to them differently, so even if someone has been on the same two, their experience may be entirely different than yours. Both these meds have a number of possible side effects, but one they have in common is insomnia.
380530 tn?1239162538 prescribed Trazodone for sleep. He prescribed 50 mgs. I started with a 1/4 of a tablet and every day built it up by another 1/4 tablet. I am now taking two 50 mg tablets. Its been about 10 days since I first started taking the Trazodone. It doesn't seem to be helping me sleep. I have very vivid dreams and am only able to sleep for 2 - 3 hrs. During the 2 - 3 hrs I don't feel like I am in a deep sleep because I am having wild dreams most of the time.
1468545 tn?1296601775 Been clean for 17 days now and had a Dr visit today and he perscribed me trazodone for sleep. Im very hesitant to take these. I told him my whole situation and made it very clear that I didnt want to trade off my addiction for something else that would be a problem. If this wouldnt become a problem and provided me with some sleep great, but it seems like taking anything comes with a cost. Anything I should be aware of or suggestions of if I should even take them?
1915001 tn?1322662784 Hi, I am on Trazadone for depression and sleep... It has helped me so far and I have been on it for about 2 weeks. I am on 50 mg @ bedtime. The only thing is on my daughter's school nights I some times break one in half to wake up fast....I am not groggy in the morning, but have a lil bit of a problem getting up, I haven't slept good in so long I think my body just wants to get sleeping. LOL....
Avatar n tn My psychiatrist prescribed Trazodone to help me sleep. I was on it for one week and started having chest pains, tachycardia and dizziness. I went to the ER because I was concerned. The said nothing was wrong with my heart. So I tried to find the answer elsewhere. I looked up the side effects of Trazodone. All my syptoms and more are listed. I went back to the doctor yesterday. I told him what happened.
