> If you're in need of a neuroleptic, not to be offensive, but Trazodone isn't always the best cure. It has a metabolite called mCPP which can increase psychosis. I don't know. I'm glad I'm away from it personally, but then I'm male and the low blood pressure and priapisms had it for me.
Trazodone isn't available here.

Pseudobenzodiazepines can lose their effectiveness earlier with concomitant use of other benzodiazepines".Really?-maybe thats why it pooped out?, when i was discharged from hospital my Psy gave me:
-3mgs Xanax
-6mgs Clonazepam
-5mgs Valium
-2, 7.5 Zopliclones
-2mgs Risperdal
-propranol as neededMost of which i'v quit.-perhaps thats why some folk continue to receive benefits from Zop for year/s?

Ambien isn't available here

Have taken it, made me feel weird.

Now it's Xanax 1-3mgs + a few shots Vodka-it works.
