Does Trazodone make you hungry?

I was always thin too. I have not noticed this.

Trazodone can go either way and can potentially cause metabolic changes in some people:
"Metabolic
Common (1% to 10% of users): Anorexia, increased appetite, weight gain, weight loss"
Wildcat

Finally I have found others with the same issues. I've been on Trazodone for 4yrs. When I notice 20 minutes later I was all of a sudden starving I mentioned it to my Dr. He told me that was weird that he'd never heard of that then dismissed it. I've been skinny all my life. I could eat anything and never gained a pound. Actually my problem was losing weight and being under weight. I was going through a lot including menopause so I trusted him. Now I've gained 75 pounds and I'm actually waking up starving and many times have actually fallen a sleep with food in my mouth. I just 2 weeks ago told him this and no changes.
Last night I didn't take any and I sleep through the entire night. That has not happened in I don't know how long. What a coincidence don't you think? I'm furious with my Dr. Any suggestions as how to handle this issue in my next apt. coming up?

Does trazodone cause a loss of appetite?

For me, personally no. I take it right before bed with a small glass of water. I have never noticed the medicine causing hunger, only relaxing while laying down in the bed.

I've been taking trazodone for about 6 months for insomnia since we made the decision to wean me off of xanax (I was building up too much tolerance). I've noticed that I get INSANELY hungry 15-30 minutes after taking it. I could be super comfy in bed ready to go to sleep but the hunger becomes too much to ignore and I have to get up and eat or I won't be able to sleep. Once I do eat I'm usually out within 20 minutes.

I had that side effect & would eat after taking it. I was on a large dose as well. Once, I stopped taking it. I lost weight.

I’ve been prescribed Trazodone 50mg for insomnia and depression. The first night I slept and dreamed like never before in many months. I have noticed my appetite has decreased and my mood is much better. I’m very pleased with the results!

486ocean, hi. I also wondered if Trazodone was making me more hungry! That's a very good question you posted. I have been on Trazodone 50 mg for several years now, but it's only in the past year that I have gradually gained 10 pounds and I don't know why! I don't have a big appetite. Have you gained weight? Does the Trazodone help you with insomnia. Sometimes Trazodone helps me, and sometimes it doesn't help much at all with sleep. I hope you are doing well with the Trazodone and sleeping better.

I am currently taking trasadone. If I say up for more than 15 min after taking the medication I am so hungry. But the next day I have absolutely no appetite. I have lost 14 lbs in 3 mos. I am currently trying to wean myself off the drug.

I checked the list of possible side effects an increased appetite is not listed.
