Generic Name: Oleptro (trazodone)
For Depression "I started taking Oleptro, great for depression. Has been a lifesaver for me, if anything, it increased my sex drive and made sex more enjoyable, and I slept better. Very safe to use, this is a great medication."
For Major Depressive Disorder "I like it. I took original Trazodone and it made me way too drowsy, but as this is slow-release, I take it in the morning and feel calm all day. I'm actually using it for panic and obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression."
For Depression "I took 1/2 of 150 mg Oleptro for 4 days and had the worst experience of my life. After the first dose, I slept for 19 hours and still woke feeling heavily medicated. After two cups of coffee and a meal, I was able to stay awake for five hours but was not totally coherent. I took another 1/2 pill at bedtime and slept without waking until 10:00 the next morning. During all of this 'rest,' I had the strangest dreams. Not nightmares, but they left me feeling bad and confused. I was able to stay awake and plant flowers, but still felt drugged. I also had an overwhelming feeling of sadness that brought me to tears. Monday morning, I woke up vomiting with severe stomach pains. My vision became more blurred with each day. I have been out of work for a week."
For Depression "It gave me restless, crawly legs on 50 mg. It was very sedating 12 weeks ago. I broke it in half, and that worked for 4 weeks, then no sedation at all and bad night sweats. It made me very foggy the following day, and I had palpitations half the time. I also experienced hangover headaches."
For Depression "I like it. I didn't notice side effects like the other medicines I tried."
For Depression "Just got on it - so far, so good."
