| 1 | insomnia | My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest, and I had a hard time breathing. I still feel like I'm in a fog and my eyes are blurry, I'm having a hard time focusing. | F | 57 | 1 days 100 1X day | 3/26/2015 | 5 | Chronic long-term insomnia | Drowsiness, increased thirst | This is the only medication that has helped my insomnia. If I don't take it, I don't sleep. I have been on this for around 10 years and have had no serious side effects. Take with food and be ready to get in bed when you take it if taking for insomnia. It starts working fairly quickly. | F | 34 | 10 years 50mg | 3/25/2015 | 1 | Insomnia due to depression | this pill had me feeling groggy and disoriented. Couldn't concentrate, loss of memory. I was staggering during the day. Felt like I was in a trance. Lethargic. Took to long to wear off. | I decreased my dosage to 1/4 pill=12.5 mg and slept all day; speaking things out of my mind. Not gonna take it again although it keeps me asleep but takes too long to wear off. | F | 64 | 1 weeks 50mg | 3/22/2015 | 1 | to help me sleep per my Dr | Horrible!! Within 30 mins, my nasal passages closed up & I struggled to breath! Plus, I didn't fall asleep until I cried myself asleep. I woke by 6am, confused, disoriented & with a debilitating migraine that caused silver flashes within my vision, nausea, illness like feeling, dehydration severely & nonfunctional for the entire day! I regret paying for such an expensive & terrible RX! | Don't take!! | F | 43 | 1 days 100mg | 3/11/2015 | 1 | To replace Zopidem | within 10 minutes my nasal passage closed up, could not breathe through my nose and extreme dry mouth. | I will NEVER take this again, it did not help me sleep and I was alarmed at the immediate affect of not being able to breathe through my nose as well as the dry mouth. | F | 72 | 1 days 50 mg 1X day | 2/23/2015 | 5 | Anxiety and sleep | No side effects. I take regular , not hcl. 100 mg during day, 400 mg bedtime. Been taking over 10 years. A wonder drug . | M | 60 | 10 days 500 mg | 2/20/2015 | 2 | Insomnia from steriod enjections | Blocked nose, shortness of breathe and severe reflux with nausea. | Do not use if you have RLS. This medicine will (may) exasperate your RLS beyond belief. Everyone reacts differently to medicine, but this pill drove up the wall all night. | M | 43 | 1 days 50 MG 1X day | 2/12/2015 | 1 | For joint pain | Horror! Within 2 days I fainted in my bathroom, hit my head and had to get stitches. I had to return to the ER 5 days later since I thought I may have a concussion since I was nauseous, dizzy, had a terrible headache and felt like I was having a panic attack. The result: all side effects of Trazadone | F | 31 | 6 days 150 1X day | 2/2/2015 | 5 | TO Sleeo at night | F | 70 | 1 days 50 mg | 1/14/2015 | 5 | Cancer patient need to be calm | Gave me a normel life | M | 10 days 100 mg | 12/24/2014 | 5 | Insomnia | It has a definite and very welcome appetite suppressant effect on me. I hope that continues; I know for some people it causes weight gain. It also makes me want to sweeten my coffee a lot less; less than half what I did before I started taking it. In addition it has changed my temperature perceptions; I used to get cold during the day and would turn the thermostat up, then turn it down at night and turn on two fans. I don't need the fans, and I keep the temperature the same day and night. The downside is that it makes me very loopy; I have trouble thinking of words and names, and my spelling has gotten horrible. I can live with that. | It's helping me get to sleep and wake up at normal times, something I haven't been able to do for more than a year. It's causing me to lose weight; I have to force myself to eat twice a day so I can take my pills (which need to be taken with food). My life is getting progressively saner. I feel like a new person. I don't think I was depressed or anxious before, but maybe I was. Anyway, I'm happier now because of the positive changes. | F | 65 | 4 days 50 MG 1X day | 12/23/2014 Patient History | 5 | Insomnia | None | It didn't knock me out at night but it did allow me to fall asleep within a normal time frame, whereas before it would take me 3+ hours. I didn't wake up feeling drugged and if I was awoken in the middle of the night, I was alert. I would not recommend stopping this one cold turkey. I did, and I suffered extreme insomnia for a week and crying spells along with anxiety. They stopped eventually, but it was one rough week. | M | 29 | 1 years 50MG 1X day | 12/17/2014 | 2 | Sleep | After awaking I experience neck pain so severe that I can't move. My body feels like I have the flu and I have a stuffy nose with dry mouth. Sleepy all day but still not sleeping through the night. This isn't working for me. | F | 41 | 3 days 50 | 12/3/2014 | 1 | Insomnia | It makes me go to sleep, but I wake up every 1 to 2 hours with terrible acid reflux, which I have never had in my life. I split the pill in half (25mg) and experienced the same thing. | I will continue this for a week, but if the acid reflux continues, I'm going back to Ambien. Never experienced anything bad with that drug. | F | 52 | 3 days 50mg 1X day | 9/29/2014 | 2 | insomnia | Decreased coordination, "heavy" feeling in limbs, irritable mood while sleeping, lethargy lasting well into next day, bloating, gas, diarrhea, decreased energy/motivation. I started trazodone two days ago because I have been having trouble sleeping and need to go out of town for training for a new job. I knew this would exaberate my insomnia. I was only looking for a med to take short-term. I tried ambien, and loved it, but my doctor will not prescribe any more (I am in suboxone treatment for opiate dependency). When I take this at either recommended dose, I feel like I got hit by a train the entire next day. A nurse at my dr office said this could take weeks to resolve. If so, it will be useless to me. I cannot start a new job feeling this way. This med may work well, eventually, but if you don't have time for that, I do not recommend. I still am having trouble sleeping as well. On my own, I cannot fall asleep til very late - sometimes 8 am. But when I do, I usually stay asleep. I don't normally remember dreams. With this med, I wake up every hour or so, and in all of my dreams I am angry or irritable. I should have just saved my Ambien for when I got a job - it puts me out, and I wake up eight hours later like clockwork feeling refreshed and full of energy. This is the exact opposite. I also take suboxone, gabapentin, escitalopram, and flexeril as needed. I should be in a coma at this point. | F | 29 | 2 days 25-50 mg | 9/24/2014 | 2 | Depression, anxiety, sleep | Depression became much much worse, I found everything harder to deal with than I did before, sinus issues (not being able to breathe out of nose at night, thus creating dry mouth in the morning), sleep efficiency wore off quickly. | I realise drug experiences are different for everyone so I'm sure it works for others, but it was absolutely not the right one for me, I stopped cold turkey with support of psychiatrist 2 days ago. | F | 29 | 6 weeks 100mg 1X day | 9/21/2014 | 2 | Insomnia | Taking full 50mg makes me groggy, headaches and jus blah. Cut down to 25mg. Puts me asleep but does not keep me asleep. Severe nightmares and nite sweats, headaches, added depression and no energy. Going back to Dr. with hopes of getting something different. | F | 50 | 1 months 50mg | 8/17/2014 | 1 | Sleep | Started taking for sleep. Increased dose over a few days to 150 mg. Side effects: muscle and joint pain, headache, low energy, constipation, diarrhea, no appetite( LOST 7 pounds cuz of not eating, racing heart and mind, anxiety. Lowered dose to 50mg and still felt bad. Took it down to .25mg and most of the side effects went away. Not effective for sleep. Accidentally took 50mg last night and my stomach and nauseous bad all day. Interrupted sleep. I'm going to try natural remedy. Side effects outweigh the benefits! | F | 46 | 3 weeks Varied | 7/24/2014 | 1 | for insomnia | RLS and, next morning, severe headache. | F | 1 years 300 MG | 7/16/2014 | 1 | Depression/Anxiety/Insomnia | Woke up with tinnitus - 2 years later I still have it. This was shortly after increasing my dose from 50mg to 100mg (I was on 50 mg for a couple of weeks). | F | 3 days 100 1X day | 7/7/2014 |
