Hi everyone!

I was curious if anyone out there has been given Trazodone for anxiety/panic/depression? If so, have you had any ill effects?

I have been on just 50mg. for two weeks now and am crawling out of my skin, moreso than before starting it! It is absolutely making me nuts, but I am trying to give it a fair shake, upon the advice of my PCP and my boss (I am an RN).

The past few days have been especially horrid! I think I would rather deal with the anxiety/panic/depression on the level it was, pre-Trazodone, but like I said, trying to be a good patient, LOL! I take that back, these issues aren't funny at all. And, he wants me to increase it to 100mg. SOON... I wonder if the 100mg. will make me calmer?

Very appreciative of any input!! Thanks and Happy Holidays to one and all.

Can you ask the Doc to give you something else?

Unfortunately, I cannot tolerate SSRI's either! Have been the gambit with just about everything... this is a last ditch effort!

i loved trazodone..it helped me out greatly specially with sleep, but different drugs do people differently

SeeBee, I had the exact problem you had with the trazadone. I told my doctor I was having a problem with it, the same stuff you are going through, he told me to keep trying. I went to another doctor (who is now my current doctor)who immediately took me off trazadone. He put me on buspar, which worked for me.

Good Luck
Lisa
