Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft with trazodone

zoloft

Avatar m tn Trazodone + Zoloft would cause more problem with serotonin than Klonopin + Zoloft. Usually there is not a problem with this syndrome, but you doctor should keep a close watch. Let me know if the Trazodone helps you with sleep. I tried it years ago when I had acute anxiety and it didn't help. I have heard it puts some people right to sleep. .5 mgs of Klonopin twice a day with my Celexa is enough to keep my sleep pattern healthy.
Avatar n tn Can Zoloft, Wellbutrin and Trazodone be taken all together? I am trying to wean off of wellbutrin and start trazodone for depression and stay on zoloft for anxiety. If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Avatar m tn Today is my 6th day on Zoloft and my doctor prescribed me 25mgs as well as trazodone 50mgs for sleep. I take zoloft in the morning generally when I wake up. I noticed yesterday and today around the 5th-6th hour mark, my body, specifically my stomach area would start to feel 'high' and my heart rate would increase. It's like restless energy is churning in my stomach. I feel like I could run all day. Yesterday I almost felt like passing out at work that I had to go home.
374225 tn?1269899262 30 (I take 1, 50Mg Zoloft and 3 50Mg Trazadone) those are the meds and only once at night. How quickly can I taper off of them? Been on them both for 6 weeks and I want off them fast but without the withdrawals.
Avatar f tn ve tried all three -- Neurontin, Topamax, and Cymabalta -- but after looking at the information for particularily the Cymbalta, I am wondering if I just have a med conflict. I have been taking Zoloft and Trazodone for over 14 years -- both are SSRIs and these 3 drugs all seem to affect serotonin absorption/dispersal. I am actually trying taking myself off the Lyrica right now, going down to just the Zoloft, Trazodone, and birth control.
Avatar m tn It's definitely been a rough ride, but I've been feeling much better than I did during the summer. The summer was a very dangerous time, I came close to ending my life multiple times. But I can at least confidently say now that I have no desire to end my life. Of course, I'm still feeling pretty crummy physically which I think is a result of the zoloft. But there's significantly less panic. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to school soon.
Avatar n tn I have been on a slew of psychiatric meds since last March including Ambien, Ambien CR, Effexor, Lexapro, Trazodone and now Zoloft and Clonazepam. Most SSRIs cause me to have insomnia which is why my psych prescribed Trazodone. However, I had a very bad experience two weeks ago where I even had to call 911 because I felt like I was having a heart attack. I know what a panic attack is and this was not anything like I had experienced before.
1041243 tn?1375230520 I am on a wait list to see my psychiatrist so my pharmacist told me to take 50 mgs of zoloft every 12 - 24 hours until I can see my psychiatrist. Is this safe? Even with this lower dose of zoloft the symptoms are still pretty bad, but can these meds be taken together? I am also on 150 mgs of trazodone for sleep and neurontin for anxiety.
Avatar m tn I have heard this is common with Zoloft. My doctor told me to take Xanax to sleep, also tried Trazodone, Melatonin, and many over the counter - the only thing that works is the Xanax however I won't take this every night. I have also heard from many sources that the sleeplessness gets better over time, that it can take a couple of months.
Avatar m tn hey im a 20 year old male. i have anxiety/ hypochondria/ depression etc. the doc put me on 50mg Zoloft i have been on it for about 8 days and its giving me insomnia. I took zoloft about 2 years ago and it did this briefly and then quit (hoping it will stop again). The doc thought about putting me on Cymbalta instead but i went with the Zoloft since i had taken it before and it was "okay"/ some positve help..
1454782 tn?1285259285 Just yesterday, after calling my doctor, he called in something for me to help sleep (Trazodone 100mg) and I slept for nine hours and felt like I had a hangover. This morning, I only took half of my Zoloft.
Avatar n tn The dizziness usually starts after waking and sometimes tapers off towards the end of the day. The first 2 weeks I was super drowsy and could fall asleep immediately with no issues, but the last 2 weeks have been an insomnia nightmare. I struggled staying asleep, I would wake up after about 2 hours and could not go back to sleep. The dr prescribed me trazodone to sleep, which helps to put me out, but I still awake after about 4 hours and struggle to go back to sleep.
7390486 tn?1395024820 I've been on mood stabilizers b4 but my Dr took me off of them & prescribe SSRI-zoloft it's been helping but my bipolar started up again cause my brother father pass away; so I was put back on Lamotrigine it's leveling off my bipolar, depression & anxiety. I'm still on Zoloft & also Trazodone-a cyclic anti-depressive.
Avatar m tn Hi, Have you tried Trazodone? My fiance is a big guy and it takes a lot to get him to sleep. He takes Trazodone and it works--sometimes too well.
Avatar f tn I met with the DR today where I go to counseling. She is starting me on zoloft for mild depression and anxiety. Anyone have any info on taking this during treatment? She said I'd be fine taking during tx but wanted to hear from everyone here. Also she said this might help with sleep but probably not. Has anyone noticed it helping with sleep? The other med she is considering which helps with mild depression, sleep but not so much anxiety is trazadone.
Avatar f tn another option is to get your doctor to prescribe something specifically for insomnia such as ambien, sonata or trazodone. discuss over the counter options with him such as benadryl and others available. lastly, its great to hear YOU know what works best for YOU. don't discount that.
Avatar f tn I was on it a good few years, then put on citalopram with subsequent major weight gain. Then trazodone which gave me palpatations as did escitalopram and had problems with others too, and prozac gave me weight gain too. Been on antidepressants 16 years or more, trying herbal antidepressants but losing my battle as my depression extremely bad just now and my fast pulse and palpatations are returning.
563594 tn?1309583132 I'm not on lexapro anymore. I was for about a year, and then thinking I was okay (bcuz of the hydro) I stopped taking it. i'm guessing its likely I'll need some sort of AD again soon. I still take xanax only when needed of course, but I know I probably need to be on something else again too. and then rid the xanax all together..but, the trazodone didn't agree with me. I feel better now after some coffee..and its been 6 hours. It definitely didn't put me to sleep!
Avatar f tn Is it possible for you to find another psychiatrist? If your Dr. won't work with you, sometimes it's best to get a 2nd opinion. Feeling like a zombie is awful - I took trazodone once for sleep - I had a hard time breathing through my nose - caused sinus conjestion. Good luck..
10996785 tn?1432812977 (after a small stroke) I take it at night with 50mg of trazodone. About every morning since I have this feeling of internal weakness and internal shakes. It's a horrible feeling. I've drop down from 25 mgs to only 10mgs but feel the same. I don't know what's going on but I really don't feel good at all. Anyone know about Nortripyline and what about Lexipro? i know meds are the perfect way to go but I've run the gambit with Psych docs, Neurologists and others.

400067 tn?1201358094 I would see a doctor right away. My doctor gave me Trazodone to help me sleep, and he put me on too high of a dose. My left pupil was huge and the other was small. I had IVs to help flush my system, and I asked to never be put on that again.
Avatar m tn I went through that when I tappered myself off Zoloft. Pure hell. I know now that I need Zoloft and will not put myself through that nightmare again. Find a good phyciatrist and also a good therapist.
Avatar n tn Any comments on taking trazodone when hep c positive? my bf was diagnosed w/ hep c 6 years ago, has had 2 biopsies w/ the 2nd one last month showing small changes to his liver, but no recommendation for treatment yet. anyway, he has a hard time sleeping, ambien doesnt always help, and he also has some depression, so we thought this might be a good medication for him. thanks in advance.
