Hi everyone, I just got put on trazadone - at first 50mg, definitely wasn’t enough for me and my side effects were horrific but I’m up on 100mg now and hoping things will start to get better. Just wondering about others experiences on this drug (don’t mind if they’re bad as well as good) and maybe how others cope with side effects and adjusting to a new drug as I know it takes a good time for your body to fully get used to them. Thanks!

I just started taking trazadone(50 mg) and feel fine. It seems to be helping with my sleep and I have had no bad side effects.

I take 150mg of trazodone. It doesn't make me tired. It just makes me high feeling lol. I think at my next pdoc appointment I'm going to ask to be taken off it since it's not really doing anything. I don't have side effects from it, other than the high feeling.

What kind of side effects are you having?

Just curious.

I think I’ll be going up to that dose, I’ve heard the higher it is the less sedative the effects which is good but yeah think I’ve got that high feeling too. Do you not feel its any help for your mood/anxiety? If that’s what you’re taking it for.

I’ve been having faint/dizzy spells at the beginning which might be easing a bit now. Still so tired and feeling out of it sometimes, some days I’ve been really mentally checked out which I hope is initial but trying to stick with it as I’ve been trying so many.

Trazadone is an antidepressant and throws me into a mixed state. I can’t take it.

I don't feel like it's doing anything, except making me high feeling! I'm taking it for sleep, but it's not working.

Sucks about your fainting and dizzy spells I hope once you get used to it you won't have that anymore!
