Trazodone Hydrochloride and trazadone

I was given a prescription for Trazodone four days ago beginning with a 150mg dose. I have a very long history of getting by on three to four hours of sleep and was constantly tired. That first dose really knocked me for a loop the next morning. When I first stood up after the alarm went off I was spacey, groggy, unsteady on my feet, joint pain in my knees and hips, and slight pain in the muscles of my legs. It was a full three hours before I felt somewhat better although I felt unsteady on my feet and when I walked, I walked as though I had a hangover. I decided to only take 75mg tab the second night. I slept twelve hours. When I awoke the above mentioned symptoms were still there but were much, much lest in intensity. The third night I took 50 mg. I slept nine hours and when I awoke the symptom were really minimal and felt quite normal after an hour or so.

I've only taken Trazoodone on rare occasion, I'v ehad terrible nightmares. That's why I am so leary to tak ethe drug, it's my last resort. I would take Restoril instead.

Tony,,, Let me know. My dreams have been quite strange

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?

Does Trazadone cause severe hairloss.

I take 150 mg at night, but taking along, it makes me have terrible immobile nightmares. I take 2 mg of Ativan along with it at night to mellow the trazadone out. Both of them together makes me sleep like a log, by itself, I just can't take.

I took trazadone in july of 2001. I took approx. 50mg for 4 months. After that point, I began to have some serious rage and feeling out of control from the medicine.

I should note that I am extremely sensitive to medicine so the medicine built up in my system for way too long.
