Hi:
You may switch/take the Nefadozone if the Trazodone giving you so much 'zombi,' ... probably around the 100 mg., even starting from the 50 mg., if you're more prone to get 'zombi' feeling during the day.Before the Trazodone, I was the Serzone(now, Nefadozone/generic form). In my personal view/experience, Serzone and Trazodone is quite similar in regrad to the effectiveness. The reason why I switched to Serzone/Nefadozone was the effectivenss started to wear-off, even I upped to the 600mg.(Maximum dosage)Nefadozone. Then, in my suggestion, if you would feel unfuctionable and other 'serious' problems due to the Traz., you could switch to the Nefadozone. Because, in my personal experience on those two A.D.s, the Trazodone is MUCH stronger than the Serzone/Nefadozone, in regard to the 'effectivenss' along with 'S.E.'s, particularly 'zombi/sleepiness.' I rarely felt 'zombi' even on the 600 mg. Serzone/Nefadozone. However, on the 300 mg. Trazodone, I feel mid-range 'sleepiness,' then for the past two nights/days, I cut it back to 250mg. which seems to control the depressive side of my Bp II fairly well.
However, you need to speak to your pdoc. before considering the Nefadozone due to 'liver' issue. In my case, I NEVER had any problems when I was on Max. Serzone/Nefadozone during the four to five years' period along with other 'liver' issue, 'Lithium.'
