| 4 | insomnia, depression | Sinuses clogged up 1/2 hour after taking it, but were clear the next morning. Slept great, but woke up groggy and had blurred vision. Felt a little disoriented and stayed sleepy all day. Also made me hungry. | It worked great for the insomnia so I will probably continue taking it and maybe just lower the dose to see if that helps decrease the side effects. | F | 28 | 1 days | 6/3/2008 | 4 | Insomnia | I have had insomnia all my life, and a few years back my doctor prescribed Trazodone. Initially just 1 pill knocked me on my butt. Now I take 4 pills every night to sleep (200 mg?) But then again, I have a tremendously hard time sleeping. I could not sleep without it. | F | 39 | 6 years | 10/16/2007 | 4 | For sleep | I was afraid to take it at first because I just started also taking fluoxetine , but after 2 hours I was sound asleep and slept all night...just a headache side effect. | F | 55 | 1 days 50 mg | 6/9/2016 | 4 | Sleep aid | Headache resolved Sluggish am for 2wks | Great to sleep getting to sleep is now easy and calming | F | 55 | 2 years 50mh | 5/31/2016 | 4 | Chronic insomnia, depression, PTSD | My problem with trazodone is my body got extremely use to it which is why I'm at 150mg(and I refuse to go higher). The medicine has honestly helped me so much over the years BUT within the past 2 years it has over the time stopped working for me because I've had to also take OTC sleep aid to assist with the sleeping or even if I did take OTC I still would stay awake and not sleep (granted my insomnia especially as of lately since my grandmother has passed has been acting as if it's insomnia on steroids). Another thing is I only take it at night to sleep - regardless if I've eaten 30 minutes before, an hour, or even 3 hours before I get so nauseous when I go to lay down to the point that keeps me awake. I don't know why it is doing this and neither does my doctor. | The thing about trazodone, it doesn't work for everyone just like any medications. I have been on it for 7 years and only until the last two years I've had problems. | F | 24 | 7 years 150 | 8/29/2015 | 4 | Bipolar depression trouble sleeping | Took it for 20 yrs but since I started takiking Lunesta also 9 yrs ago I have had side effects. I sleep with a cpap & need the Lunesta but if I do not fall asleep in one hour the horrible side effects start!! Feeling of restlesdness & inability to sit stil, muscle spasms & contractions, involuntsry muscle movement, aching. I have to tub my shoulders & legs!! It finally goes away after 2 hours!! I have had it & went cold turkey with Trazodone and was up till 4 am!!!! But just slight side effect so it must have been withdrawal! I have to get off this for good!! | F | 62 | 10 years 50 | 11/1/2015 | 4 | Insomnia and anxiety | I experience dry mouth, I stay thirsty all day,and I just keeps a jug of water next to my bed, My appetite has decrease as well and it's a good thing for me , It want hurt me to lose them extra pounds. | I always ask the side effects of any meds before taken and my doctor told me dry mouth and decrease in appetite. I made the decision to take this meds, and I now get well needed sleep taking 100mg . I started off with 50mg for 3 days it did nothing , now the 100 mg works, well need sleep..Thanks Trazodone | F | 53 | 2 weeks 100 mg | 11/17/2015 | 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?

Depressian.anxiety | A bit drowzy next morning sometimes a bad headache next morning | I think this is ok but i think it all depends on wot mood you are in when you take it. | F | 3 months 50mg | 2/16/2016 | 3 | anxiety,insomina,ptsd | Very groggy,head cloudiness the next day,i took 50mg the night before,might try 1 more night to see if I feel the same next day feelings. | F | 48 | 1 days 50mg | 10/18/2016 | 3 | anxiety,insomina,ptsd | Very groggy,head cloudiness the next day,i took 50mg the night before,might try 1 more night to see if I feel the same next day feelings. | F | 48 | 1 days 50mg | 10/18/2016 | 3 | Help with sleep and anxiety | I felt extremely nauseous the second day all day after the first night taking it. I've been getting great sleep but after a week of taking it I noticed my face has what looks like bumps on it. I have always had a super clear complexion.

Has anyone else experienced this? | F | 41 | 7 days 50mg | 2/19/2017 | 3 | insomnia | I do not have my usual happy feelings, better sleep, leg pain, constipation,... I have tried so many pills such as antidepressants, and I have never received any help. I am considering stopping this medication. I feel badly that there are so many bad drugs out there. We must be in the stone age as far as meds for depression or anxiety. | F | 65 | 8 weeks 50 mg 1X day | 2/26/2023 | 3 | Insomnia | Worked great for my insomnia for 4 days then slowly stopped where I was waking up 2-3Hours after taking between 50 and 75mg | Basically no adverse side effects | F | 75 | 8 days 50mg 1X day | 1/29/2023 | 3 | Insomnia | The day after I take it I have a headache. | It really helps me sleep. But you need to take it immediately before getting into the bed. If you take it and don't go to bed the sleepiness will pass and you're back to where you started...awake. | F | 26 | 7 days | 4/3/2006 | 3 | depression/anxiety, insomnia | @ 25mg = Dry mouth, some snoring; @ 50mg = hangover-like feelings, inability to concentrate, all-day fatigue, *WORSENED SNORING & SLEEP APNEA!* | I took this drug for several years @ 25mg, but had to increase to 50mg as my tolerance grew. It initially helped me get to sleep quickly, but I could never stay asleep for more than 3hrs. at a time. After my neuro increased the dose to 50mg, I stayed asleep an extra hour (maybe), but woke with a hangover-like headache & all-day fatigue. My husband also told me I started snoring more heavily & periodically STOPPED BREATHING during sleep! I tapered off & stopped taking it altogether when drs. at a sleep study center told me it was making my SLEEP APNEA worse! I still have mild sleep apnea & insomnia without it, but am trying a different combination of meds now (because I just so happen to enjoy breathing...) o_O | F | 37 | 5 years | 5/21/2008 | 3 | neuropathy | possible weight gain | it helps to calm me a bit and helps me to relax,it does help my neuropathy some works better than elavil | F | 36 | 1 years | 11/30/2008 |
