What is Trazodone used for?
Traxodone is a tricyclic antidepressant. Tricyclic antidepressants are not just used to treat depression, they are also sometimes used to treat migraines, OCD, panic disorders and sometimes pain. If you are not sure why you are taking it, then go and see your GP and do not leave the surgery till he has explained to you why you have been prescribed it. Trazodone is often prescribed to people with depression who are having problems sleeping. If it is impeding on your life then a dose adjustment might be in order or a change of drug completely. Also, you don’t say how long you have been taking it for? The side effects of antidepressants can often be worse the first few weeks that you start taking it- your body will then get used to the drug and symptoms should alleviate. 400mg is quite a high dose for this drug. Go back to your GP and ask him to justify why you have been prescribed this dosage.
