I read this and did not find frequent urination as a side effects.
But dry mouth is. You may be drinking more because of this drug.
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Trazodone:
Blurred vision; constipation; decreased appetite; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; general body discomfort; headache; incoordination; light-headedness; muscle aches/pains; nausea; nervousness; sleeplessness; stomach pain; stuffy nose; swelling of the skin; tiredness; tremors.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Trazodone:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); blood in urine; chest pain; fainting; hallucinations; irregular heartbeat; light-headedness when rising from a lying or seated position; prolonged, inappropriate, or painful erections; seizures; shortness of breath; stroke; vomiting.
I experienced frequent nighttime urination taking 50mg of trazodone. Over an 8 day period, I lost 17 pounds, 10%+of my body weight. Once I determined what the problem was {my doctors did not}, no more nighttime urination and I have gained 5 pounds in 7 days. Apparently, this is a rare side effect of trazodone. Also, hoarseness which is improving.
