I will say, even though you probably already know it, that mixing Trazodone and alcohol can be dangerous. Most people are warned to limit or eliminate alcohol altogether when taking Trazodone.

Be safe today!
Thanks, skeksi, everything you have said is exactly right. I did go and research the trazodone/alcohol combination, and I am definitely out of control with this. It makes me shaky now even typing about it.

I hope to be strong enough to send my t an email letting her know that I need to confront my actions these past days. If I don't email her, I am concerned that I will change my mind before Friday. It is kind of sad, because as I reread my posts and the responses, I realize that I am on shaky ground right now. I have been so angry about my med changes, and the cycling that has seemed to become more rapid, that I am pretty dumb these days.

I'll post when I get brave enough to send the email.
