When I first started taking Trazadone, it really messed with my head. I had to break pills in half, from 1 100mg to 2 50mg, until my body started adjusting to it. Now, I wake up fine. My husband *borrows* 1/2 every once in awhile when insomnia & stress keeps him awake. He's not used to it, and he has a hard time waking up. I hate when docs prescribe different med's all at the same time.
Try halving your trazadone and see how you feel.
KDi in Texas> Hello recently a new physciatrist (sp) has taken me off of ambien and put me on trazodone he also added another med called lamictal but i am also on wellbutrin lithobid and risperdal per day. My problem is since i have been taking the lamictal and the traz I do not know which would be causing these problems i am having. When on the ambien I was up and ready to get stuff done by 8 am now it seems i dont even wake up till 9:30 or 10:00 then i feel as though my head is going to explode and i feel as though i have been out on a drunk
> during the day. My head is all cloudy and its like i am in a tunnel. Could these be side effects from either of these meds? They seem to me as it become alittle dangerous ecspecially when I am driving with my children
> Thank you Tressa
