I've been taking Trazodone for 4 yrs, it helps my neck muscles relax during the night, and also helps me sleep. I have FM (fibromyalgia). My chief side effect is E.D. I thought it was the Traz but in looking thru all your reports of side effects I don't see one mention. I used to enjoy sex w/ my wife (she LOVES to make love!) but now, not only can't 'get it up' but don't even think about sex, EVER. I'm a 50-yr-old male, and this is kind of scary. Michael Douglass' wife could walk by in a bikini, and my remark would be, "How 'bout them Cubs?" Anybody have a similar experience?

Within 20 minutes of taking the medicaton my head began to throb painfully with every heartheat- It felt like my head was expanding with each beat. It became a Horrible headache. I fell asleep quickly, when I awoke the pounding and headache were still there, and I was groggy- confused and disoriented, and in a lot of discomfort stemming from the pounding which was going through my whole body now. It was so scary I actually feared for my life. The effects began to wear off at about 16 hours, and I was about back to normal by 20 hours.
