I have been on trazodone for 2 plus weeks. It has helped my insomnia. I can't complain as I was not sleeping.
After a week I started breaking out in rashes. It has gotten progressively worse.
Can trazodone cause rashes and do I stop it?

Hi Moreheadmom.
trazodone does have rashes from side effects. I read it usually occurs in females over the age of 60 during the first month of treatment.
I got conflicting info in regards to if it goes away after the body adapts or not.
Bottom line...
See your doctor.
I found trazodone 100mg to treat my severe insomnia.
Best wishes

HI Moreheadmom-
Sometimes if it is a generic med switching to a different generic may help. You may be having a allergic reaction to the inert additives in the generic trazadone you were prescribed. See if you can ask for a different manufacturer.
But best to do as Masso says and speak to your doctor about the rash.
