 2  Insomnia Increased libido, arrousal, and erections during the morning after. Loss of orgasm. Frequent sleep paralysis, night terrors, death like panic attacks. Although my libido and such increased, I was unable to orgasm through manual stimulation or sex with my wife. She complained that my penis was harder then usual when engaging in sex, I had noticed this as well and it became uncomfortable for the both of us. The frequency of sleep paralysis and night terrors was negating the effects of falling asleep and soundly. I have had sleep paralysis since I was a kid and this really took it to the edge. Ever have a conversation with the devil, with him asking you to turn around and look at him? It's an awful state to be in, body is dead, but the mind is working wonders with your imagination, and the thought of death coming over you as one of them. Needless to say, I gave it a chance but it was to much to handle. I am now on low dose (5MG) Lunesta and sleeping soundly! M 29 2 weeks

 1  Insomnia Severe leg cramps This was prescribed for my insomnia. It put me right to sleep. What was not nice was waking up my roommate in the middle of the night screaming my heading off as I sat bolt upright with the worst leg cramps I had ever felt. I ate banana's. Same thing happened the next night. Took potassium supplements. Same thing happened the 3rd, 4th, and 5th night. Never will take them again! M 34 5 days

 2  insomnia due to abdominal pain Throbbing in head, some drowsiness, but no sleep Yet another weird antidepressant pushed on me by dr. reluctant to prescribe a benzo. My first experience was in ER. I was in a holding room in a the ER walk-in area & it was COLD. The night nurse gave me Trazodone; it only made my head throb (tho not ache); the nurse said it might help my IBS pain too...well it didn't & I still cldnt sleep until she broke down & gave me Ativan (yay!)I will say this for trazodone: at least it didn't drive me nuts like paxil or zomb me out like remeron; it was merely ineffective.

 4  insomnia odd dreams, notice that with the higher dose, 50mg vs 25mg, i feel much more awake in the am and don't have the "hangover" feeling........any insight to this? Only takes a half hour to go to sleep versus well over an hour. Only wake 1-2 times and can fall back asleep more easily. Also, find more clarity of thought in the daytime hours. This is life changing for me...........difficulty getting to sleep and would wake 3-4 times a night with great difficulty in falling back asleep. I am taking Fluoxetine (prozac) and find no trouble in adding this to my routine. F 52

 1  Insomnia Had the worst headache of my life for three days straight after taking this. Lost peripheral vision in my left eye for two hours before immediately stopping and calling the doctor. The "hangover" feeling is a lot more awful than you realize: my mouth and throat were so dry, I started choking. Ambien was far more gentle to me. F 27 3 days

 3  Insomnia Dry mouth, congestion and sometimes crazy dreams or nightmares, sometimes nausea, and a few other things. Oh, sometimes made me sleepy very, very quickly! Different generics though had way different side effects, see my additional comments Ok, PLIVA generic trazodone acted totally different for me than all the other generic trazodones I took in the past. Pliva trazodone acted more like a stimulating anti-depressant and kept me awake, instead of a sedating anti-depressant used for sleep which is the main use for trazodone. I think Pliva may be the same as Teva, I am not sure......but I am looking for a generic manufacturer that makes a trazodone that is actually sedating. I wish I knew what ones I took years ago that worked for sleep. Anyone have any input? F 30 3 years

 1  Insomnia Severe Allergic Reaction that started with a stuffy nose and progressed to hives, reddened skin, increased pulse rate, increased blood pressure and a major crisis which required medical intervention. The first time I took the medicine, I noticed my pulse rate increasing. I decided that maybe I took it too long before going to bed. The 2nd time I took it, my nasal passages immediately closed up, and I got up and took a dose of Benadryl so that I could breathe. By that evening, I had raised lesions on my thighs and my entire trunk was becoming red and hot. I contacted a dermatologist online who instructed me to stop the Trazadone, as I had experienced a severe drug reaction. My attending physician did a follow-up and confirmed the same. It has been 2 weeks, and my skin is now peeling, but not fully healed. F 56 2 days

 5  Insomnia I am always tired but unfortunately some of that is just me. Even though I am always tired, it beats the heck out of laying awake all night for years worry about things. I was a complete wreck because of no sleep. I really wish that I didnt experience the fatigue like I do but Ambien was worse and talk about crazy dreams. F 47 4 years

 5  Insomnia, Anxiety, Depression dry mouth, difficulty waking up if less than six hours have passed since taking This has been a fantastic drug for me! Before, it would take me over an hour to fall asleep, and now I'm out like a light in half an hour. On the down side, I can't take it if I'm going to be getting less than six hours of sleep, otherwise I won't be able to wake up as fast, and often I'll fall right back asleep and not remember conversations. Otherwise, it's fantastic! F 20 5 months

 1  Insomnia My experience was horrible. It was like the drug took over my body from the neck down, but did nothing to shut my brain off for sleep. I didn't sleep a wink! For a couple of hours after taking it, It was like my body would not breath on it's own. Like I was having to remember to breath in every time. Will never take again. M 50 1 days
