When I first started taking trazodone, I would get dizzy but I think it was because I didn't eat well. I've been eating well lately and I haven't felt dizzy after taking it until now. I didn't eat much today. I ate/drank yogurt in the a.m., 2 tacos for lunch, a fruit salad and a Starbucks. Do you guys think its because of that or should I stop taking it and tell my doctor?

It's been a long time since I took trazadone, but I vividly remember the dizziness. Definitely tell your dr. But it's just what it does. I think I learned to take it right before bed. I mean directly, even sitting in front of the tv after taking it was out of the question. I recall crawling to my bed on hands and knees I was so dizzy. Take care and I hope you feel better.

If you haven't taken trazadone every night and then just took it last night, then the dizziness is just a side effect of it.

I take it every night. I've just noticed that when I don't eat enough I get really dizzy but I'm not really sure if that's the reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

With most meds the dizziness factor wears off after a time. But don't stop on your own, call the doctor and tell him what you said here.

I quit taking it because of getting dizzy. I took it right before bed time and then I woke up in the middle of the night and I had to crawl back to bed and fell a few times. Never again will I take that stuff. But everyone is different.

I only feel dizzy before I fall asleep. I also wake up in the middle of the night. I don't get a full night sleep. It does make me very sleepy but I want to get the 8hrs of sleep.

I just had my tradazone increased and not only does it make me dizzy, I cannot think. As in, I will in a meeting and just not know the answer. I want off and plan to go back down despite my pdoc's protests.
By the way, I am trying to switch my pdoc because I think she knows jack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
