I just went on this med, 50mg before bed to sleep. I am/went through a bad case of insomnia/depression and was prescribed it by a mental health doc/nurse. It seems to help, I have had it twice, and am supposed to take it again. I really want to be able to sleep normally and not be dependant on a med.
Health /Effects Questions: I don't really notice to much on the side of a problem other than if I have to get up and use the restroom I have a hard time getting there usually and by morning I am out of it and feel weird and spacey.
Is Trazodone a safe med to take? I generally refrain from all meds unless its really necessary.
Is it also easy to go off of? If I start sleeping and feeling normal again I would like to stop it, as said, I have taken it twice and tonight will be the third time.
Thanks in advance.

Answer:
I've been taking 50 mg. Trazadone for quite a while, most, but not all, nites. No side effects but I believe it is only marginally effective for me. Have not heard nor read anything bad about it.
i used to take them but they leave you feeling drained not refreshed
I took it myself a few years back. I didn't like it. I know it's for depression as well as insomnia. It did help me sleep but it did nothing for my depression.
I do know that it is a safe med and many people use it.
If it does help you with your sleeping I bet eventually you will be able to come off of it.
Make sure you give it time to work...weeks to a month or so before it is fully in your system.
I was on it for at least five years, at first it effected my vision and made me very tired, I made mistakes of taking some in the mornings..maybe after your on it for several months you may feel o.k. as long as you take it at night..but I feel better,,more alert now that I have been off of it for eight months or more..I'am like you,,I don't want any meds..
Trazadone made me throw up. I'm glad it didn't do that to you. I like Ambien. I feel so refreshed when I take it. I have awful insomnia so I really feel your pain
That is a low dose of Trazadone, it help[s insomnia it's usually used in a much higher dose for anti depression. If 5-0 mg seems too much cut it in half and try that, It is a non addictive drug it is easy to go off of I used to have to use 300 mg just for sleep and still didn't most nights I don't use it anymore as I use something else but I know several people who do use It

Trazadone & Sleep Disorders?
Is this medication good for getting rid of sleep disorders like insomnia? I am having this problem when I try to sleep just about when I get to sleep, I get startled/excited that I am about to sleep and it wakes me back up repeating the cycle all over. My dreams also seem to be panicked, when I wake up I feel kinda worn out. Also with the trazadone are there any side effects I should be seriously worried about? Thanks in advance. ~Pat
Answer:
I have taken trazodone for sleep and it worked really well for me my Doc told me i could take up to 150 mg at night i never had any bad side effects and i slept good
good luck
I was diagnosed with insomnia about 5 years ago and was prescribed trazadone. It does help.. at least it did help me. I found that if for whatever reason you can't take it for a couple of days in a row.. there is some withdrawal. Shakey, nervousness.. that kind of thing. I have since stopped taking it, but I had to ween myself off of it gradually. ( Benadryl works for me now, and it didn't then) I also gained about 15 pounds during the time I was taking it possibly due to the fact that I'd eat in my sleep. I had good results overall, it works well, and it's not as expensive as some of the other ones. Good luck.
Hi there I have a 15 yr old son who has been on Trazadone since he was 12 and it still works good for him.But I"m sure it can be different for everyone and could or could not side effects. I think thats something to talk to a doctor about. I wish you well. tazzy

Trauma Center- Episode Z5?
I'm on the part where the doctor tells you not to kill the three remaining GUILT because he's making something to inject into it for a sample. I'm at twelve seconds left and paused the game becuase I really don't want to do this episode for a third time. The doctor's not going to give it to me in two seconds, is he? And if not, how do I beat the level? I tried the healing touch and the scalpel. But I may have done something wrong. Can someone please help me?

Trauma after a medium-type injury?
Unconsciousness, concussion, bruising, bleeding, cuts injury.
Can this leave me feeling traumatised (not that anybody but me would notice?) some three weeks after the event?
I am not a person who suffers from nerves or depression or anxiety. Trauma takes the form of misreading other people and makes social interaction nigh impossible.
Answer:
you need to see your doctor and get the proper referrals. probably a neurologist? TBI - traumatic brain injury - can effect your brain seriously. You need to get the proper help. Get checked out. You are not crazy. I am shocked they didn't offer you the proper care at the time of injury.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/tbi/t...
Yes.
grow a set of nuts girly man
Yes, you can be traumatized after an injury.
I was traumatizes after a car accident over 50 years ago and as a result when I see a car with its head lights on parked on the wrong side of the road I break out with a panic attack. Also I can't wear a seat belt for fear of being trapped in a car and have a doctors note not to wear one.
yes it is very possible to suffer trauma 3 weeks 3 years and even 30 years after the fact. you know sometimes our body go into a lets say shock state where we don't take it all in for some reason and then all of a sudden boom it hits you like a tone of bricks. if its effecting your life so much just pop to the doctors they will help you get past it all.

Trainspotting.?
Authorities on Asperger's Syndrome have plausibly argued that a high proportion of trainspotters probably suffer from various degrees of the complaint, (Frith 1991)
Your thoughts please?
Please don't be rude about them, this is a genuine enquiry.
Answer:
It seems very likely that this is true when you consider the behaviours displayed. A fixation on a subject to the point of keeping detailed and extentsive records - this is behaviour pattern is quite typical of individuals suffering from Asperger's and other Austistic conditions.
I think you're being silly. What about bus spotters, and car spotters. Train spotting is not the waste of time that a lot of people make it out to be.
my thoughts?
all males are anal to a degree
look how millions obsess about following a sports team
OCD right there...
kinda
OK, plain English for us down to earth people plzzzz! anyway...who is to judge anyone who likes something! women are obsessed with clothes make up , purses sales (salespotters! he he he) and men with sports and there larger than life toys and boobs (boobspotters! he he he !!) who cares! ? stop picking on people; people!

Trained Insensitivity?
Ever since I can remember I've been EXTREMELY emotional. No, not just around that time of the month, but always. I used to attribute it to my being a Pisces but now I think it might be something more than that. Is there a way that I can train myself to not be so emotional? If so, how would I go about it?
Answer:
Please don't train yourself not to be emotional.
Learn how to cope with what is triggering your emotions. There is a reason you are extremely emotional. Talk to your doctor, and explain you don't enjoy being emotional. Don't buy into medication only, get some counselling and develop your coping skills.
I would like to know that too. I think we should watch men and try to figure out how they flip that switch when they do.
most of this kind of people have some bad memory in their life,what about you,if you have too then try to forget your past day
I can tell you how because i've done it. i am the kind of person who cries at everything. (maybe i'm depressed, but i've been like this since i was liiiittle. ) so all i do is when i'm about to cry i swallow and i just forget about the event. i have done this so often that it's second nature. of ourse there are the days where i just BREAK DOWN from all the retaining, but i think it's worth it. so all you do is blink while swallowing and forget it ever happened. best of luck!
let yourself be emotional... i've seen people go from being caring and sensitive to cold and sick, completely shut out from the world...
you might cry every day, but would you rather never crying? hearing that your mom just died and not shedding a tear? or watching your best friend take a hail of bullets to the chest and head, and not having any emotions? (yeah, i've seen someone who was over sensitive and very easily upset become so cold that when she saw her best friend take 23 bullets to the chest and another 4 to the head she didnt even cry...)
There may be a way. Check it out with a professional counselor or psychiatrist. You may also have a chemical problem going on that can be fixed or tamed.

Tow months after quiting Tofranil i had strong pain then i took it again why is that pain and how can i quit ?
that pain last for tow weeks then my doctor return the medicin in small dose then add more doses and said it was chronic anexity and i should take medication all my life ive been taking medicine for four years the doctor change the medicine when i tell him that i hate to talk with my frinds in work i want to know when i get well and stop medicine because it makes me sleep a lot and wake up with new memory
Answer:
I am not sure what the question is so if I am well of base with my answer I am sorry. I know its hard but if you have a long term illness of any kind its best to stay on medication. I have a number of disorders and all are long term life long illnesses that I have to take medication for. I know that the sleeping to much can be hard and have you not tried a different medication as there is a lot of them out there that might be of help to you. good luck your not lone take care Lisa
Tofranil is an older anti-depressant. I assume you mean by "pain" either depression or anxiety. In either case a newer medication for depression or anxiety may be indicated. Also it is often beneficial in both depression cases and those involving anxiety to undergo "talk therapy" with a psychotherapist to discover and help eliminate the causes of your depression and/or anxiety. Until you identify the cause of the condition it probably won't "go away" as medications only dull the symptoms and do not eliminate them.
I am not a doctor so bring these matters up with yours and try to get him to identify what is causing the anxiety and/or depression or recommend a psychologist who can.
If the "pain" is not depression or anxiety but physical pain it may not be related to stopping the drug but another cause which if it persists should be investigated.
Good luck, good health, peace and love!
