Extended-, low- or slow-release pills usually have XL, or SR in the product name. Molipaxin 100mg capsules apparently contain immediate-release trazodone. I'm guessing your GP has prescribed it to see if you can tolerate it and intends to switch you to a slow-release formulation if trazodone works well for you.
I find today I had no bad start up affects like in the past with ssri's. Today only felt a bit tired and woozy but overall so far so good
This is usually the main trazodone initial side-effect and often the only one.
Im really hoping they help with my anxiety as its really annoying overthinking every possible scenario even though deep down I know ill be okay
seems like my mind puts ideas into my head and then I get really anxious its awful sometimes :(
That is pretty much a description of anxiety disorders. The anticipation is almost always worse than the reality.
