| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR TRAZODONE HCL | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Insomnia | Sleep for 4-5 hours soundly then wake up and bed feels like a rock. Tossing and turning for 2 hours and then able to sleep again. After being awake in the morning and eating breakfast need to sleep again. Constipated and need a laxative. Absolutely no help for insomnia. | M | 72 | 3 days 50mg | 2/12/2020 | 5 | Insomnia and anxiety | Increased libido (no complaints;) ) | F | 24 | 3 weeks 50 mg | 3/18/2020 | 5 | Insomnia/anxiety | I love this meditation. I was originally prescribed this for insomnia so I took it at night. It really hasn't helped me too much with my sleep but I have had a dramatic shift in my mood, concentration and libido. I was not expecting this at all!!!! I am over joyed with how well I'm feeling. I also take 10 mg of for depression but we are weaning me off of that. | F | 44 | 21 days 50 | 4/21/2020 | 5 | Insomnia and anxiety | Increased sex drive which has been amazing because I'm on 200mg of sertraline and have been numb ever since. Night sweats | I'm glad I can enjoy sex again. I can get to sleep without hours of anxious thoughts and picking at myself. I feel fine in the morning once I'm up and had a coffee. I can sometimes sleep too much now which makes me a little dizzy for a while but I do eventually come round. The dreams have been amazing it's like watching a film staring me. I'm feeling a lot happier and a lot less anxious during the day and especially at night so I'm happy. I wish I was prescribed this years ago my husband notices a massive difference in me he says I'm radiating happiness at times. | 28 | 0 months 25mg | 5/10/2020 | 2 | Sleep aid | Vivid terrible nightmares. Joint and muscle pain | F | 63 | 1 days | 6/17/2020 | 2 | Trouble falling asleep | Vivid, awful nightmares and unbearable muscle (and maybe bone?) pain in wrists, arms and lower legs; likely exacerbated back and thigh pain that was already present. The pain appeared gradually until I could no longer take it (I'm told I have a high pain threshold) and discontinued use. | I can't tell you if it even helped my sleep because I started it to replace seroquel. I tried discontinuing the latter and could not sleep with just the trazodone, so I ended up taking both, with my seroquel dosage reduced to a third. | F | 32 | 2 months 50mg 1X day | 8/1/2020 | 2 | Sleep | Sleepiness, dizziness, anxiety, lack of motivation | I was on this drug for 15 years for sleep. In the beginning it was great for that. My body became dependent on it and it definitely caused big spikes in anxiety. I finally tapered and got off it three months ago, but am still feeling symptoms of withdrawal. My vote is stay away from this drug! Has anyone felt withdrawal symptoms this long? | M | 44 | 15 years 50-100mg 1X day | 8/17/2020 | 4 | Sleep | Terrible overall joint/muscle stiffness and pain-feet, arms,legs, back, even jaw! 2 weeks ago weaned to 12.5 and no abating of symptoms, even worse-maybe due to withdrawal starting? Will continue to eliminate altogether. This bone pain came on gradually weeks into taking it. Was not sure if it was the drug but after reading up on it, discovering others experiencing pain as well. Hopefully I will see it end after drug completely leaves body. My sleep is so far not been affected adversely with reduction to 12.5 MG. Getting 6 to 7 hours solid. Has anyone seen bone/joint pain go away after stopping drug? If so how long does it take. | Has anyone seen bone/joint pain go away after stopping drug? If so how long does it take. | F | 59 | 10 months 25mg 1X day | 11/24/2020 | 3 | PTSD with depression and anxiety | I never look at side effects straight away. My stomach seemed to stop working. Very bloated and constipated. Dry mouth and blocked nose Dry mouth, blurred vision, headache, urine incontinence and clumsiness. Fatigue and painful muscles and joints. | I've felt horrid for 2 weeks but I will persevere as I'm confident the side effects will subside | 43 | 14 days 100mg 1X day | 12/18/2020 | 2 | Sleep, Anxiety | I was prescribed Trazodone for sleep. At first, it worked great. Unfortunately, I had to keep increasing the dose to have the desired effects, and I was sleepy ALL the time. | DO NOT QUIT TRAZODONE ABRUPTLY. THE SIDE EFFECTS OF DOING SO ARE SLEEPLESSNESS, TWITCHING LEG MUSCLES, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY | F | 58 | 15 years 300 1X day | 2/13/2021 | 2 | Chronic Insomnia | Took the pill at bedtime, but didnt fall asleep until five hours later at 7 am. Slept sound for nine hours, but woke up staggering and fell trying to answer the ringing doorbell. Frustrated because I lost my entire day after waking up being groggy and lightheaded. Don't understand why it would take five hours to start working. Was happy that I actually slept, but it was at a cost of losing my entire day. | F | 63 | 1 days 50 mg 1X day | 2/23/2021 | 2 | Insomnia | Horrible grogginess for days on 50 MG went down to 25 MG, headaches, dry eyes. | This medication stops working after a while. a couple weeks for me, after that you have to increase your dose. This medication also messes with your serotonin levels and interacts badly with some other meds. If you are looking for a long term solution for insomnia look elsewhere. | F | 23 | 4 weeks 25 MG | 2/26/2021 | 2 | Sleeplessness | Took 50mg at 10pm last night. Slept good, but woke up groggy. Its 3pm and I've got a bad headache, really tired, my neck hurts and dry mouth. Headache is a 6 or 7 on pain scale I'm afraid to take any tonight, don't want this headache to get any worse. | F | 64 | 1 days 50mg 1X day | 8/4/2021 | 5 | Insomnia | So far I am very satisfied. It has allowed me the ability to sleep through the night. I awake feeling rested and have not experienced grogginess. I have less anxiety and more energy throughout the day. | F | 65 | 5 days 25 mg 1X day | 10/7/2021 | 1 | Insomnia | Night sweats, nightmares, racing heart, heavy chest/hard to breath, stuffy nose, flu/hangover-like feeling all day, increased appetite and hypoglycemia, severe brain fog and confusion, aching lower back (), nausea, upset stomach, extreme lethargy all day...GENERALLY ILL FEELING | It worked ok for about 4-5 nights, but quickly stopped working altogether so I upped the dose to 75mg. Been patiently trying to ride out the side effects but I feel so AWFUL! I'm done with this crap! I have missed 5 days of work thanks to this terrible medication. | F | 35 | 14 days 50 to 75mg 1X day | 11/6/2021 | 1 | Insomnia | After 14 months on 50 mg trazodone for sleep I have severe hip and low back pain with muscle pain in legs dropping to 25 mgs | F | 72 | 0 days 50 mg 1X day | 12/1/2021 | 1 | anxiety, ptsd, insomnia | taken at night, resulted in a stuffy nose and difficulty breathing which exacerbated the feelings of anxiety | didn't help with anxiety, ptsd at all. resulted in grogginess in the morning. i had to go back to an ssri which proved more efficacious | M | 29 | 3 months 150mg 1X day | 12/11/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Unbearable muscle pain in my legs, back, & arms. So, it doesn't help with anxiety because I'm in constant pain. | F | 53 | 1 years 100mg 2X day | 1/21/2022 | 1 | Insomnia | Severe low back and hip pain | Tapering | F | 72 | 2 years 50 1X day | 2/2/2022 | 3 | Insomnia and anxiety | Fatigue and sore muscles (especially in legs); can't walk more than a mile before I start limping. Also have mild itching/needle feelings all over. As others said, I also get a stuffy nose while sleeping. | Man, this stuff really, really helped me finally get some sleep. I'm just hoping that the side effects kind of go away. I'd like to keep taking this for the sleep help, but if I can't exercise and am itchy all the time, that's kind of a deal breaker for an active lifestyle. | M | 33 | 5 days 50 MG 1X day | 2/9/2022 |
