In reply to Ayuda - Is the Trazodone working out?, posted by Ward on November 29, 2002, at 12:07:46
> Ayuda - we haven't seen a post from you in a while, I was wondering if the trazodone is helping you get to sleep any better. How are you doing?
Thanks for asking -- and yes, I am getting sleep with the Trazodone. It acts much more like a real "sleeping pill" than the Ativan did. The first time I took it I felt drugged in the morning. My mom said that her patients appear drunk when they are on it -- that's kind of how I felt. But I am tolerating it better now. I don't know if this is normal, but at about 7 a.m. (no matter when I take the Trazodone), I wake up ready to start my day. It's strange for me, because I don't need to wake up at that time any day except Tuesdays. So I go back to sleep!
I hope that my doctor allows me to keep on it -- since it's an AD and not a benzo, I hope she does. I'm also doing better on my ADs, though I am still tapering off of Effexor, not completely on the Lexapro alone. I'm only having problems with my concentration, which was a problem with Celexa and Zoloft.
