Trazadone Sleeping

I have been taking trazadone for 2 weeks for sleeping 25mg-50mg a day. I last had 25mg at 23.30 last night and would like to drink this evening frlm 7pm. Obviously I wont take my trazadone tonight but will I be okay to drink? Will it be out of my system? Thanks. ## It is best not to mix it will alcohol, even by skipping the next dose. It can aggravate the side effects, making you experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness than usual. However, if your doctor approves of your imbibing, please make sure that you will not be driving or operating heavy machinery. The FDA lists the other typical side effects of this medication as possibly including dry mouth, headache and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

gone off serequel and they put me on trazadone. (50mg). I does nothing and yet they say 2 will give hallucinations. what can I do. I cannot sleep w/ 1 of the trazadone. ## That's odd, it can be given in doses much higher than that, it's approved to be used for some conditions in up to 400mgs a day. The FDA classifies Trazodone as a tetracyclic antidepressant that is also commonly used to treat insomnia. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, weight changes, mood swings and dry mouth. However, they may be being cautious, since you've just recently gone off the Seroquel, you may need to give it more time, before the dosage can be raised. Your problems sleeping could also be aggravated by coming off of it. Are you on any other medications?

Does anyone know anything I can take OTC that works in the way trazadone 50 mg does? Ambien never helped and all the other Rx for sleep....I do also know this is an antidepressant. I just kicked methadone after some years so my Rx ran out early. Haven't been sleeping at all...thanks ?? ## Unfortunately, no there isn't an OTC medication that will work like it does, that's why they are OTC and these others require prescriptions. The FDA warns that most of these carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, mood changes, and sedation. There are some medications available OTC to help with insomnia, have you tried any of them? Are you on any other medications? ## Verwon- Thanks for your reply melatonin does not work for m...

I am taking 4 mg of dilaudid and 100 mg of trazadone and I can't sleep. I can't keep my eyes open but just toss and turn ## I had been taking Trazadone for years and I really felt it helped me get to sleep but did not work as well keeping me asleep. ## Michelle, are you sure that you aren't sleeping, or is it possible that you are and are just having very vivid dreams that you aren't? That, coupled with extreme restlessness would make you exhausted and could make you think you aren't sleeping at all. Learn more Trazodone details here. Learn more Dilaudid details here. Otherwise, if you really aren't sleeping, then you should speak to your doctor about the problem. Are there any other questions or comments?

Hi there, i have been taking fluoxetine 60mg and 15mg of mirtazapine for quite some time now, unfortunately I'm not sleeping well at all, so I've been to see my doctor and she has told me to stop the mirtazapine straight away and reduce my fluoxetine and gradually introduce the trazadone from 50mg moving up to 100mg possibly 150mg if I feel I need it. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice if they have had anything similar with there medication, it's just that I'm so used to taking my fluoxetine, thanks kaz ## My main concern is how drowsy I get when I wake the next morning ## can lyrica mirtazapine and prosac be taken together. im not really sure about this and i am worried. my psychiatris put me on all 3.again ## Trazodone is often used, when someone b...

Can Trazadone be used to treat a chronic cough like amitriptyline? ## Based on my research Trazodone is indicated for: Clinical depression with or without anxiety. Insomnia, Fibromyalgia, to aid in sleeping. Control of nightmares or other sleep disturbances. Amitriptyline can also be used as a sleeping aid in small doses. I did not know either of them had an off label use for chronic cough? correct me if I'm wrong, but I personally haven't seen anything stating otherwise. That said, I don't think it is specifically indicated to help with coughing; but if you personally find that it has been working for you then I'd advise you to contact your doctor who prescribed it, to give you the OK to continue using it for that.

I have a white triangle shaped pill with 50 50 50 on one side and Pliva 441 on the other side. Is it a sleeping pill? ## This is Trazadone 150mgs, it breaks into 3 seperate triangles so you can split the dose if you can't handle all of it at once. It is a generic for the antidepressant Desyrel, and yes, it will knock you out if you have trouble sleeping or have insomnia. ## i am not able to get gud nite sleep so i use 0.5 to 1 mg alphrax daily IS IT HARMFUL OTHERWISE SUGGEST SAFE PILL

sleeping pill ## how does tramazone work? ## I believe the medication you are referring to is Trazadone, a generic for Desyrel. This is actually an antidepressant, however, on of it's side effects is drowsiness, so it is often prescribed for insomnia. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Doctor is wiening me off Alprazolam. My biggest concern is sleeping. Is there another medicine that is not in the bens. class that will work for sleeping? ## Try Trazadone. There are many other medicines that cause sleepiness. Even OTC medicine and herbal medicine could possibly help you. Xanax is not a sleeping pill ## @Jim, Here are just a few options (out of many) that may be worth looking into for a sleep-aid: 1) Ashwagandha root - studies suggest that a dosage of 100-200mg/kg is reported to be similar in potency to 500mcg diazepam in reducing sleep latency & improving sleep quality in mice. 2) Melatonin 3) Valerian root 4) Magnesium However, it would probably be best to discuss these and other options with your doctor until you're completely off xanax, that way you eliminat...

## I've been taking this pill which i was told would help me sleep. They're Trazodone HCL 50mg tabs. It says on the bottle that it's for insomnia. Is this a sleeping pill and what does it do? I sleep 10-12 hours and I only take 1/2 the tablet. ## The thing about trazadone is it is actually an antidepressant,but only in high doses built up over a period of time(this level must be maintaind to be theraputic).But one of the side effects is extreme drowsiness,but if taken regularly your tolerencn will build up.Mine builds up after a period of time and I have to stop taking it for 6 months in order for it to b effective for me.But overall it does its job for sleep,I have been taking it for 5 years ## Just like the trance song, I can't get no sleep. That is how I feel every ni...

The Doc prescribed 3 mg of Lunestra couldn't believe how good it is, has a nasty taste if ya keep in your mouth very long but going to sleep in 20 minutes waking 7 hrs later is one f the best feelings I've ever had...wake up no druggy feeling whatsoever, just need a cup of coffee! Anyway got news my insurance won't pay for it so the Doc prescribed Trazadone! Any thoughts? Thanks much! ## Trazodone is an antidepressant that is commonly used to help with insomnia, since it can cause drowsiness as a side effect, according to FDA reports, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes.

round white, pliva 433 ## I was told Triazodone would help me sleep at night. How do they make you feel the next day? Please give me any information that you can about this pill. My son passed away almost 3 months ago and I am having trouble sleeping. Thank you! ## Trazadone, a generic for Desyrel, is an antidepressant that also causes sedation and drowsiness. When my husband was on this, as long as he took it at night, right before going to bed, there weren't any adverse effects the next day. Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, sedation, uncontrolled laughter and blurred vision. Very sorry to hear about your son. ## Thank you Verwon. So it sounds like this was a good choice for your husband. I appreciate your time! ## Very welcome, I am happy to help.

I have just finished my first wek of the starter pack. I actually already feel more motivation and energy. Now weaning off Cymbalta at 20 mg/day; also take Trazadone 100 mg 3 at bedtime. Have terrible sleep problems & the Trazadone has been wonderful for that; old drug and cheap...originally prescribed for depression, then people realized they were sleeping better than ever. Have had no real problems with Viibryd as yet. However, I have the Trazadone and take Codeine 30 mg twice a day. That probably has kept me from having the diarrhea most people experience.

When I refilled my perscription for Trazadone, I though the pills looked different. they are small white round pills with a split line and PLIVA 433 stamped on them. The old ones were oval I think. The old bottle says Trazodone 50 mg Tablet APO. The new one says Trazodone 50 mg Tablet PLI What is the difference? ## Only the manufacturer! PLI on the new pills stands for Pliva Pharmaceuticals and the other ones were made by Apotex. Most pharmacies will switch according to whomever provides the cheapest option when they have to reorder. The medication, however, is the same. Do you have any other questions? ## There IS a difference! I have experienced tachcardia every night since switching from Apo to Pli. I am not happy! ## I have also felt jittery and had more problems sleeping on the pli...
