Hello,

I have been taking 75mg to 100 mg of Trazodone for 9 years. I've recently been prescribed Escitalopram and am currently taking 10 mg/daily. I am on day 12. The transition has been extremely difficult with increased anxiety and other side effects. Today my practitioner advised me to stop the Trazodone (cold turkey) as the combination of the drugs is giving me too much serotonin which is causing some of the side effects. She prescribed 3.75 mg Zopiclone x 7 days. I am very concerned about suddenly stopping the Trazodone...I certainly don't need more anxiety as I can hardly cope with the anxiety I am experiencing.

Any feedback?
