1 | nausea, headache, couldn't wake up | it sucked | F | 27 | 3 months | 6/2/2003 | 5 | trouble sleeping on celexa | no side effects | I have GAD, panic disorder with agoraphobia, and social phobia. I have always had trouble sleeping and once I started taking Celexa, it got worse. I didn't want to get off the Celexa but I NEEDED to sleep. Doc prescribed desyrel and it's like a godsend. And it's not like xanax or valium, so it's not as addictive. I love it. | F | 31 | 3 weeks | 12/29/2002 | 2 | Insomnia (Caused by Zoloft) | At first, I experienced extreme grogginess in the morning and would be a sleepy zombie for a good chunk of the day. After a few weeks I got used to it and was no longer groggy in the morning. AND THEN I STARTED TO HAVE PSYCHOTIC-LIKE SYMPTOMS!!! I had never experienced like that before. When I stopped taking the trazadone, the psychotic-like symptoms stopped within two days. | I was prescribed trazadone for insomnia caused by me taking Zoloft for OCD. I do not have any other mental disorders and since the strange symptoms ceased, as soon as I stopped the drug, it was obviously the medicine that caused it. I do NOT believe that this is a common reaction to trazadone but just a weird reaction my body had to it once it built up in my system. I now take Restoril for sleep and have no side effects. In my opinion, trazadone is a decent sleeping pill but it just was not right for me, in my case. It was a scary experience and I hope to never experience it, again. | M | 26 | 7 weeks | 11/17/2002 | 3 | Insomnia | Drowsiness, Restless Legs, Morning hangover | This drug seemed to work for only a few months, increasing the dosage only made my insomnia worse | M | 34 | 2 years | 10/29/2002 | 4 | Clinical Depression | Hard to wake in the morning, increased movement in my sleep | I can not sleep without taking it due to my Zoloft at night. It is incredibly mild and better than regular sleeping pills that could be habit forming | F | 23 | 6 years | 9/15/2002 | 4 | M | 53 | 1 years | 8/31/2002 | 5 | trouble sleeping | When I first statrted taking it I was a little groggy in the morning, but I sleep well now. | It also helped me quit smoking. | M | 24 | 2 years | 8/26/2002 | 2 | TO help with sleeping | felt very groggy when waking up; headache | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 8/7/2002 | 4 | insomnia/depression/anxiety | slight dizziness,poor concentration, sleepiness | all of my side effects are expected, i take it for insomnia. i have tried several other medications, and this has proven extremely helpful. I take my medication and i am very peacefully asleep w/in 15 minutes. has also cut down on my nightmares | F | 23 | 2 years | 7/14/2002 | 2 | insomnia | I was given this drug as a sleep aid and it had the opposite effect on me. I felt very wired and in the morning I felt tired and like I had a hang over. | F | 40 | 7 days | 6/7/2002 |
