"I was prescribed trazodone at 20 years old for depression. I took it for 21 years. I was also an alcoholic for 21 years, my blood pressure was so high the doctor had to change my medication. I was petrified as I'd relied on trazodone for so long. Within 3 weeks of taking a new antidepressant, mirtazapine, I'd become the teetotaler. That was over 3 years ago. Can't stand the smell of alcohol. I was a chronic alcoholic all those years, 4 residential rehabilitations. Even embarrassed as I am to admit it, but 4 pregnancies didn't stop my dependency. I say it had the opposite effect on me. Why a GP didn't pick up on it, I really don't know."

Trazodone "I am currently on the trazodone, and while it is not as effective as the Seroquel in terms of a sleep aid, it works well when augmented with Zoloft for depression."

"I used this trazodone for insomnia. Not a big fan, made me feel terrible! Did nothing for the depression. Did make me sleepy, but not real fond of this."

Trazodone "This medication doesn't help depression. It also kept me up at night. I couldn't sleep all night. I went to the doctor to get a new antidepressant."

"My dosage increased. The only difference I'm experiencing is it's making me drowsy and lightheaded, like I'm drunk, but not made much progress alleviating my condition."
