In people who may have borderline psychosis, the metabolite of Trazodone, mCPP may precipitate this but this has actually been discounted.
A "normal adult dose" would put most people to sleep all day.
Yes, priapism occurs more than one may think, or at least it did for me, but um... I had ways out of it, lets say standing on your head on a bed is one way :). No -- its a serious situation in older males if it is prolonged and strong, then the penis has to be drained.
And then eventually Serzone came along as mentioned. But it had liver effects unlike Desyrel (trazodone). So the company dropped it, but generic nefazodone is available and does work for some people.
Still I would say that a doctor should monitor liver function on nefazodone every 3-6 months.
