The last time I took Trazodone I had a horrible experience. I took it exactly as prescribed and the dose was a standard for-sleep dose. But the effect it had on me was as though I had overdosed. I was seeing flashing lights and I felt like I was blacking out. I made myself sit on the edge of the bed and talk aloud. I was really fighting not to pass out. I just kept talking and singing and finally I was able to drink some water. So scary.
Oh wow! The first time I took Trazodone, I walked the short distance to the bathroom, swallowed the pills, walked back into my room and promptly fell over onto the floor! Luckily for me, I had taken the cushions off the couch bed and they were laid out end to end so I had a soft landing spot!

Last night I took 4 Trazodones - two old ones and two new Ones. Still tossed and turned until all hours. By the time I got to sleep it was somewhere between 4 and 8 a.m. when my alarm went off at noon I got up because I was planning to meet N1 for brunch. Between 1 and 2 pm. She said closer to 230. But that was ok because I was at a coffee shop just down the street from where we were meeting for brunch. We had a good time. This restaurant is very. LGBTQI+ positive with all sorts of flags hanging up in the restaurant. If felt good to eat with N1 in such a positive place.
