“Trazadone is not an SSRI and otherwise is a benign, often useless drug. The worst side effect he may have experienced was a raging 8 hour erection.”
Does Laz know? Oh what the hell.
Ping!
Trazadone is a terrible drug. It was given to me for chronic Insomnia and the next morning, I felt terribly depressed and despondent.
The Dr. told me to continue taking it, as the side-effects would eventually dissipate.
Although it did help with sleep, it continued to make me feel despondent and depressed.
After a month, I quit taking it and shortly thereafter, Ambien became available and I’ve been taking it ever since with no side-effects and it works well even after all these years.
I always warn other people that I know that are going to see a doctor for their sleep issues about Trazadone and tell them to say they’ve taken it before and it made them feel horrible and to get something than an Anti-depressant for sleep.
