Trazodone Withdrawal

[Deacon Jeschin]

It does seem like a weird posting board to honestly talk about personal experiences, I agree. I've always liked to keep things real. Most men don't talk honestly enough around or to other men. Maybe that's why it can be off-putting for some folks.

Don't even get me started on libido issues. I could write volumes on dealing with ED and lack of libido. I didn't know until I looked up the side effects of Trazodone use that it destroys the natural sensors in the brain from the nerves by fucking up natural serotonin production. Anti-depressants are a real erection killer. 

I am well. Well, as well as usual. This tread was meant share my experience and to inform other folks about Trazodone withdrawal and how it plays out with some people.

Have you tried Benadryl?  It's suggested for withdrawal symptoms for SSRIs and benzos.  Might help if you go off the Wellbutrin.  Also lots of water.....flush the poison out.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. It's all good...both your advice and my being able to fall asleep. The Trazodone withdrawal symptoms have been over for awhile. I'm sleeping like a baby. Welbutrin and coffee don't seem to affect my ability to sleep. It's actually interesting that I'm fine not taking Trazadone. -Wish I'd quit it long ago.

Thank you. I will look into this. Currently and for several years now, I take Wellbutrin SR. 150 mg. twice a day for depression. Will need to check for interaction with klonopin 0.5 mg. Wellbutrin is prescribed for benzodiazepine withdrawal. klonopin is a benzodiazepine.

I take minimum dosages whenever medically feasible. As I've previous mentioned in other posts. I avoid pain medications like the plague.

Just took an Aleve for a mild headache. Hopefully, this knocks out one annoying Trazodone withdrawal symptom.

Prescribing welbutrin for benzo withdrawal? I would assume that would cause a huge increase seziure risk.

Aside.from that, I'd.never heard of trazadone withdrawal. Never experienced it.

.5mg Klonopin is low dose. I'd say 1mg twice a day is better.

Not sure what you are referring to. I've been on Welbutrin for years. It was not prescribed for Trazodone withdrawal. It was prescribed for depression.

I'd never read anything about Trazodone withdrawal until I quit taking it and had a lot of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. In the past, when I'd forget to take it, I'd have slight flu symptoms the next day. Apparently the symptoms are real according to all the information on the Internet.

Maybe if you do anything for decades, your body will react to not getting it anymore.

Don't be sure. You are wrong.

Bullshit. You mentioned recently that you drink daily!

I also posted that I stopped drinking alcohol. I'll let you figure out which post is the more recent.

just referring to.welbutrin for.benzo withdrawal. Benzo withdrawal combined with things that increase dopamine will make seziures more likely. (Any stimulant for that matter with benzo, or alcohol, or barbiturate, or ghb/GBL, anything that works on GABA, withdrawal will increase the risk of seziure.)

Yes. About the third day in, I was concerned about my symptoms and read that I could be at risk for seizures. Never had a seizure in my lifetime. I'm thinking I am not prone to them.

I.never had a seziure either, till I had 2, 1 week apart. Second one was a Grand Mal. Fell over like a 2x4 and sprayed blood all over the floor..foaming at the mouth, etc... Was out long enough to wake up to EMTs over me with the stretcher already set up next to me. Cold turkey alcohol withdrawal isn't the way to do it lol. Taking anything that increases seziure risk when you already have a lowered seziure threshold isn't wise.

It's been over a month since I quit Trazodone. My guess is that if I were to have a seizure from this, it would have happened by now.

Oh, so I didn't have a seziure you say?

Glad you cleared that up for me.
