| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR TRAZODONE HCL | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | anxiety | Terrible nightmares. Only slept for 4 hours then wake up and would be awake for rest of night Caused me more anxiety Dr took me off it. | F | 62 | 10 days 50mg | 6/27/2016 | 2 | Insomnia | Headache, stomach ache, confusion, tingling in legs... Does put me to sleep though | F | 20 | 1 weeks 50 MG | 6/1/2016 | 2 | Sleep | Horrible urine incontince and stomach bloating after 2nd dose. | F | 81 | 1 days 25 mg | 3/20/2016 | 2 | Sleep Aid | I found that Trazodone DID help me sleep but the side effects were too severe to continue the rx. Experienced Side Effects: Headaches, lightheadedness, ANGER/rage issues, increased anxiety, nightmares, and the feeling that my heart was beating too fast. | I did not experience dry mouth or any kind of digestive issues. | F | 28 | 2 months 50 MG | 4/1/2017 | 2 | Insomnia | Chronic constipation, frequent urination barely made it most times sometimes didn’t quite make it. Horrible lower stomach, right side and back pain. All day fog! Weight gain and swelling. I’M DONE! The pain is too much and I can’t function at work. My mother has dementia but even she is seriously concerned about me being sick everyday. | It did help me sleep most nights. But I would rather barely sleep and feel great all day or at least able to function. | F | 45 | 1 months | 10/27/2017 | 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 | Insomnia | Extreme bloating. Headache. Hard to focus on daily tasks. Dry mouth. Muscle aches. Grogginess. Calming. Does make me fall asleep faster. Still wake up in middle of the night but I am able to go back to sleep again. Cons outweigh the pros, will try it out for a few more days. | F | 35 | 2 days 50mg 1X day | 9/18/2022 | 2 | Depression | Confusion, lack of focus, forgetfulness, foggy brain, slight heart palpitations | I am reducing to 25 MG tonight to wean off of it to see if side effects stop. It does help me get a deeper sleep and when I get up in the night I go right back to sleep. | F | 67 | 16 days 75 mg 1X day | 7/15/2022 | 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 | 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 and insomnia | Stopped working could not sleep after 2 months, then started with blurred vision, shortness of breath, chest pains, elevated blood pressure, pulse over 100as much as 120 bpm, joint pains in hips, shoulders, neck, major headaches, felt like I had an earache, problems urinating, woke one morning my left leg blew up triple the size from my toes to my hip, was in the hospital for a week, foot kept swelling every morning!! I'm sure there is more side effects if I really thought about it. I thought I was having major health issues, looking for a referral for a heart Dr., which I probably will still get one to make sure there is no damage. Finally researched this medication, starting to wean myself off. This is not worth going thru all of these side effects!! Stop drinking caffeine by 4-5pm!! I'm done with this medication!! I really started getting depressed. Make better decisions about my health!! I can't believe I let it get this far! Everyone read your side effects or warning labels before taking any prescribed medication. | F | 48 | 6 months 50 mg 1X day | 6/23/2022 | 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 | 1 | Insomnia | At first, it worked great for sleep although I had horrible nightmares. Then I felt very depressed and tried to overdose with this and alcohol with other medication. I also gained about 20lbs. Thank God the Suicide attempt didn’t succeed. Please don’t take this drug | F | 58 | 2 months 50 | 2/15/2019 | 1 | Insomnia, depression | Uncoordination, spasticity,muscle twitching, hyper-reflexive, hairy tongue | Initially given for insomnia. Started having neurological symptoms. Sent to neurologist. She decided problems do to deplaned upped dosage. Got worse then told by one dr I had MS and the other it was psychological manifestation. Ran out of medicine and started to improve. 20 years later still have muscle twitching and never fully recovered muscle endurance. | F | 56 | 6 months 25 to 100 1X day | 5/24/2017 |
