So, having recently ran out of "Trapeze-adone" a couple months ago I have found a provider who has put me back on it. Bolted awake at 6:30 this morning after finally turning in at 3 to my cat knocking shit off the dresser and a puddle of pussy piss on my bed :/ So, I will post again soon to update everyone on the return of the Trazedone...and how well the laundromat cleans out cat piss.

I just picked up my 1st 100 pills of this drug. I hope to add 2 more hours of sleep as I only can get 5 or 6 a night. Thanks for posting this.

@JamJells Good luck + thank you. My vlog is really the only mood chart I have to see progress. Still on Trazedone, Atarax, Buspar + Tegretol. I sometimes wonder if I need to be on so many meds, but I think it is better than the alternative...always make sure to get regular blood tests that screen your liver and kidneys for damage - and try to avoid alcohol!!!

Just took Trazadone for the first time last night for sleep aid and it is shit. Makes me feel enraged and groggy and now I have to go to work. Fantasizing about pouring the whole prescription down my doctors throat.

I had a terrible reaction to buspar/ buspirone; at first it made my anxiety stop but a few weeks later and it made me almost phsychotic, my anxiety was so bad it felt like a speeed comedown and lsd combined with valium withdrawl.

I was hunched over a bucket wanting to puke for about 3 weeks, utter horror.

my mates on trazedone and it doesnt seem to work.

You are simply hilarious and adorable! I really enjoyed your comments and the overthinking reminds me of my own disordered mind!

I have been on it also, I usually get the sleepy feeling the next day.

The first few times I took trazedone I slept, but I woke up and felt so groggy...now, if I take them my mind races even more and it keeps me up longer than I usually am.

Cool t-shirt. I used to be on Trazadone for sleep and it worked well. I was switched doctors and was given Mirtazapine. Holy weight gain Batman! Next appointment I'm going off.
