I used to take trazldone many years ago. I was only taking 25mg at bedtime. I had a very simulair experience except it was a year later. It just turned on me over nite and I ended up in the emegency room. I never understood why, but I would never try it again.

Yes they were and I was totally taken off guard. It just happened over nite. Of course my doc said that couldn't happen. Don't they always.
It seemed like the med just flipped a switch in my brain.
Very very scarry thing to go through. I know how you must have felt. I am sorry you had to go through that too. It is not fun!
I have read many people and drs call it a dirty drug. It sure plays dirty tricks on your head.sissy35

There is the theoretical metabolite mCPP issue, which if you are subject to psychosis -MAY- increase or cause paranoia and other symptoms. Its not a guaranteed effect and is I think only based on the research use of mCPP in testing.
