Harry I am on trazadone 100mlg as matter of fact, It never passed out before taking it, i am under alotta pressure if you see the topic, anyway i got dizzy and lightheaded and passedout and the next thing i know i was on my way to the hospital by ambulance. thought i havent taken it in many days now i still feel dizzy and lightheaded and like i am gonna passout. Just the other night i had to drive myself to the er because i thought i was having a appedix attack but it was a cyst that burst on my ovary.thanks for the info i am not gonna take it again.

i started taking trazodone about two months ago for sleep. the first night, i took a .5 mg pill, and i ended up sleeping really well. the next night i tried it again, but ended up sleeping for over 16 hours. now i take .25 every night. while it has helped me a bit with my sleep, i dont feel like it is really the best because i cant even remember when was the last time that i slept through the night. as far as the lightheadedness, i never experienced that. i've actually taken it a few times where, i have so much energy, but it is really late and i know i should be sleeping. even then, i've found that i can funtion normally for about 2-3 hours after i take the trazodone before i really start to get drowsy. my doctor prescribed this to me, knowing that i am on zoloft and klonopin, and he was very confident that the drugs would not interact with each other, and so far, it hasn't. I cant say that i am very dependent on trazodone, or that i rely on it to get sleep, as i've gone a few nights without taking it; however, the smaller dosage for me has been slightly helpful, and not at all harmful so far.

zcoup talk to your doctor before you stop the trazadone. You may need to wean off it, otherwise you could have side effects and other problems you don't need. Remember, Harry doesn't have a medical degree--your doctor does.
