In reply to How sedating is Trazadone, posted by 1980Monroe on May 6, 2004, at 23:31:11
Yes, traz is VERY sedating. I took it for about 4 years as an AD in the late 80s. My experience was quite positive. I only took it at bedtime and found that the groggy, hang-over effect in the morning only happened in the first few weeks.
I always read that people don't think traz is a good AD, that's it's only useful for sleep, but that wasn't my experience. For me, it was wonderful, like having someone turn on a light switch after I'd been sitting in the dark for years.
Atleast you won't lose all desire for sex, like with SSRIs. Yes, priapism is a rare SE, but that can only if your a man.
