stinkin trazodone

Post Reply New Topic

i finally started to get off of trazodone, it was causing a world of problems for me, now i found out it may be responsible for everything i've been going through since i quit conquer. after i quit the mmo is when i was put on trazodone, why i don't remember anymore. after that point i thought my world turned upside down, mental and emotionally i had changed. i became angry for no reason, i could hardly see any joy in my life. my mental state simply broke down, before it crumbled i took refuge in my story which is now the only thing standing between me and suicide, because i don't care if i die but i will not bring my story down with me i will not put it through that.

now i found out i am a trazodone addict, i've been off it 2 days and i've had flue symptoms that weren't this miserable.

and now i have to go back to taking the drug to lessen the withdrawls, when it was what caused all the problems i've been going through till now. i think i finally know what real irony is. at least i'll never become a life long drug addict who actually willing takes them.

all i've eaten all day is one sliced hotdog because my stomach is so upset i can't even choke something down.

if nothing else can you guys keep me in your thoughts, i've never gone through withdrawls before.

There's no need to torture yourself. I'd recommend decreasing your dose slowly, as in over months. Quitting any drug cold turkey is bad news.

I had the worst withdrawal from Klonopin. I couldn't sleep for several days straight, felt light-headed and shaky all over, had wild mood swings and paranoia. I also couldn't remember what I was doing from one moment to the next. It turns out quitting cold turkey prolongs the withdrawal. It took about 4-5 months to feel better.

i wasn't trying to torture myself, i had no idea the drug was causing any problems. my mom looked it up after i started feeling like crap just a few hours ago, but i guess finding out that the drug was bad for me sorta opened my eyes in a way. now we're going to try and take it away slowly, i'm on 50 mgs rather the 150 mgs.

i took mine for sleep, what was yours for? that sounds like what i'm going through right now. i'm also kinda delirious at this point. so forgive me if i don't make sense right now.

Trazodone is bad news. DO NOT quit it cold turkey! I had to taper it off over a month, and I STILL had withdrawal symptoms.

yeah i'm starting to understand that now. i wish my doctor would have told me about this before i took it. i have 50 mgs in me right now, i have slight body aches but nothing like yesterday.

this is the first time i've gone through drug induced withdrawls, now i know what it's like.

This sort of stuff is why I only take a prescription stimulant and nothing else. If I don't want to take Ritalin or forget to, there's no withdrawal effects. And it's not addicting at prescribed doses, nor does it need to always be at a certain concentration in the bloodstream. I don't like Trazadonr and definetely don't like Risperidone.

I used to be on Trazodone. My drs claimed it was not addictive, an d that stopping cold turkey was okay, but when I tried to get off of it, it was a mess. I did finally get off of it, and no, I cannot sleep well, but it is much better than what I was feeling when I was on it. I will still take it every once in a while, but I always wake up in a fog. I do not like it. I just don't sleep.

i think i took risperidone as well i remember that name. but they tried every damn pill to get me to get some sleep at all, before the pill i could hardly sleep. and now it's looking like i have to quit cold turkey and just endure the withdrawls. because i can't go to the bathroom when i take it, it constipates me every time, and the 6 months of this constipation and chronic stomach i've been going through to me are way worse then enduring a month of withdrawls.

the withdrawls to me seem like nothing compared to what i have been going through.

I HATE Risperidone! It made me gain 70lb and it destroyed my sex drive. I'm on it right now, though, because my mom won't let me go off it because she's scared about me getting angry.

well as for me i could use some extra weight to get in the healthy range getting down to 116 and under, i don't want to weigh myself because everyone will b***h to me about eating, and dying of starvation. as for sex drive that is an effect i wouldn't mind if i got it, course i may not even notice.

like when i went on anti-depressants the doctor said i might have strange dreams, i wondered how my dreams could get any more bizarre. if i did get the side effect i have no clue i did.

i think the pill had no effect on me whatsoever, alot of drugs they put me on for sleep were like taking candy, none of them effected me in the slightest. my doctor was running out of options for pills to suggest. i always joke that a sledge hammer to the skull would be more effective to get me to sleep.

heck i took some pills before i went to the dentist because they had to work on my front teeth, last time they did that it hurt like the seven hells, they gave me some antivan in large doses to make me oblivious, my mom took one and doesn't remember her visit, i took two and remembered the sound of the drill a few spikes of pain from the drill, the shots i had to get, and the ceiling dancing.

it takes so much drugging to turn my mind off that the only thing that really works is sedation before a surgery. i wish they could knock me out every so often.
