Trazodone for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Reviews
"I have been on all types of medicine for my condition. Trazodone is the miracle pill for me. I sleep well, a solid eight hours. My mood has improved, the clarity of my thought process has benefitted totally. I have no negative side effects from this medicine. I am also going through menopause with no symptoms of any ugly effects from menopause. I believe that trazodone has helped in all areas. I would never come off this medicine. It has been a blessing. I have been on it for three years. The quality of my life is wonderful. Thanks to those angels who came up with this medicine."
"I have fibromyalgia and also RSD in my shoulder, which came after severe trauma to my left side and hip, which was fractured also. RSD is a frustrating disorder. But trazodone has really helped my sleep and makes me feel rested, and I sleep for 8 hours or so usually. I take sometimes up to 10 mg of lorazepam depending on which doctor prescribes it, and I take this every day for severe anxiety and panic attacks, and it helps with the pain I have all over my body too. But lorazepam can't put me to sleep, in the hospital, they gave me 14 mg every day of my 30-day stay, and it just made me hyper. So I believe benzodiazepines and things like Ambien, Lunesta, and Imovane are not necessary. Trazodone helps you sleep much better and is not addictive."
"I took trazodone for over a year with no problems. Best sleep aid I ever had. All of the sudden it started giving me priapism. Ended up in the hospital for 16 hours and it wasn't pleasant (300 mg). I scaled back all of the way to 25 mg and ended up in the hospital for 5 hours. Now that I'm off of it, my sleeping is terrible. I have a hard time waking up. I miss trazodone. I can't find anything else like it."
"I took this drug 50mg last night. Slept well and no muscle pains in legs. Went to bathroom @ 4:00 am and fell off toilet, could not get up! Hit head on the floor.could not get up. My muscles seemed to be paralyzed. Call for help and my husband rescued me. Be very careful and have someone to help you if you should try tradodone!"
"I take 50 milligrams of Trazodone and experience hypotension. I am also taking Buspar. Clonazepam, Pepcid, Celexa, and today was prescribed Prednisone. Come to find out, some of these drugs can have bad side effects, especially Trazodone. I may have to change to another sleep aid, but really like the Trazodone. Pepcid is not a drug with good side effects. I think it is what is causing my hypotension. I also have been unsteady on my feet and confusion. go figure, we don't know what we are taking that could make us sicker than what we are, or dead."
"It helps to keep me asleep, but makes me dizzy. Have to wait 5 mins before getting off the bed."
"I use 100mg at night to help me sleep. It has helped a lot. Only one drawback bad breath all the time."
