Anyone have any experience with trazadone? We tried increasing my latuda but it made my blood pressure drop ridiculously low and I couldn’t function. Pdoc suggested trazadone as a next step because I’m still dealing with depression, my Cipralex is at the max dose and I can’t increase my latuda. I really don’t want to add another med to the mix but I don’t really want to try and switch meds again either. And I’m so exhausted all of the time already that I’m afraid this will just make me a zombie.

Trazodone never worked as an antidepressant for me, just as a sleep aid.

Trazadone gave me horrible side effects mainly a racing heartbeat. I used it for sleep not as an anti depressant.

Pdoc said that it apparently helps increase the effectiveness of the other meds and will help with getting a good nights sleep. I don’t need the sleep so much as I need something to help with the depression. My manic episodes seem to be under control but the depression won’t leave now.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
