5mg before I slept, which was on top of 2 (100mg) of the Sedating anti depressant Trazodone as well as having taken two Tramadol to help bring on some drowsyness and wind down that night.
I felt immensely anxious, unsettled, and sort of, absent the next day at work, it reminded me of the immediate come down from cocaine, or the next day come down from amphetamines or speed (I take none of these anymore).
After having total knee replacement 2 months ago, I was given hydrocodone 10-325, Tramadol 50mg and then eventually Trazodone 100mg (for sleep). At first I was taking max dosage of hydrocodone and supplementing with the Tramadol between dosages. I was in a lot of pain and not sleeping, so was prescribed Trazodone about 2 weeks into recovery. Over the two months, I began to have terrible stomach issues..constipation, nausea and general malaise. After talking to my Dr.
I have chronic back pain, shoulder pain and arthritis in my knees. I've been prescribed percoset 10/325 for several years, and I used it ocassionally until the last year or so when I began taking 2 to 3 pills a day fairly regularly. I also have used trazodone for 5 years to sleep at night (never more than 1 pill).
It looks like I may spend 4 to 9 months in county jail or prison for a non-drug charge. I know that percoset and trazodone will not be allowed. I'm worried about the pain.
I think someone I care about is addicted to Lortab. They take the 10/500's and average 13 of them in 24 hours. They are also taking Tramadol 50 mg and ambien, and ativan. Don't you think that 13 a day is a little excessive? They do have chronic pain, but really now is that much really necessary? RX is for 1 every 6 hours.
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.
I actually slept the last 2 nights and I am really starting to feel normal again. Luckily I had some trazodone and combined that with nyquil. I know thats probably not the safest but its better than not sleeping. Its almost the weekend so I think I am home free.
Yea, the RLS is pretty bad and I suffered from it before all this even happened. The night sweats were insane, I mean my bed was soaking wet. I opened the window but had to close it because I would freeze from being drenched.
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.
I tried trazodone when I first started detoxing........it actually made me wired and kept me awake. I take Melatonin and Valerian at night....it really helps. I also read at night...it gets my mind off of things and relaxes me enough to fall asleep. I don't sleep a lot..usually about 4-5 hours a night...but it seems to be all I need anymore. When I was taking pills, I would sleep 10 hours a night!
I still get real bad RLS at night and the Valerian seems to help that.
He had a thorough checkup today at the hospital and the attending physician agreed it probably was the Trazodone so told my husband to stop taking it (which he already had done) but to continue with the beta blockers until he saw the specialist again. Apparently it takes about a week to get the Trazodone out of a person's system so now it's a waiting game. Yes, we were scared. We were also surprised the heart specialist didn't make the connection; however, it is rare.
My wife took 100 mg Trazadone every night before bed as a sleeping aid, an off label use. I tried it myself and it didn't work as a sleep aid. I was also looking form help with stress caused depression, it didn't seem to help me in that area either. I switched to Sertraline (Zoloft) not sure if that will help with depression or not.
I find the generic Ambien doesn't help me sleep either.
I have to say that after taking Trazodone for a couple of weeks I could have healthy sex with or without viagra. I took Trazodone for a bit more than 3 months and then gradually stopped. for the following 4 months I could also have good sex ONLY when taking viagra. But now (after 6 months of stopping Trazodone) viagra stopped working again.
My question is: Did the doctor tell me to stop taking it too soon? should I start taking trazodone again for a longer time?
