    Thanks Prism,

    The side effects are not really that bad so far. I feel a bit emotional tonight. And I can cope with the upset stomach.

    I also take an antipsychotic (quetiapine) and Effexor too, so they are to supplement those and help me sleep basically.

    So far so good I would say.

    Jim

    Re: Trazodone

    Another fairly good night's sleep last night, so I'm fairly happy with this med.

    The only big problem I've noticed is that my appetite has virtually dropped to nothing. I never feel hungry at all. I realised this morning that all I've eaten in the last couple of days is 1 bowl of cerial and half a bag of jelly babies. I still don't feel hungry this morning but I think I should force myself to eat.

    The Quetiapine I take increased my appetite initially, I could have eaten and eaten all day, it has eased off over time, but I put on a little weight with it. I am a pretty skinny guy anyway but the Trazodone has completely eliminated my appetite. I guess this will improve over time?

    Still going ok, last couple of nights I've slept solidly for around 6 hours.

    The main problem is on initially waking, or if I wake in the night I feel a bit like I have a hangover; dry mouth, uncoordinated, and very groggy. Once I'm up and had a cup of tea I feel fine.

    During the day I do sometimes find myself a little detached and not very 'alert' is the best way I can describe it. Like when walking home from the shops I walked past my road without realising. That does seem to be easing tho.

    I think I have felt a slight increase in my anx since I started but that could be unrelated as it often fluctuates.

    So still going fine so far imo.
