    senor trazodone

    hopefully it holds up long term! ymmv though, antidepressants are a huge hit or miss i think. my relatives are on some completely different ones and they work for them but when i take it its like chugging 20 cups of coffee all day long... impossible to sleep

    oh: and it makes my erections even more uncommon. FUCK YEAH

      Glad to hear this one's working for you! I had no luck with Trazadone, but finding the right medication for any given person is really a crapshoot.

        yep. hopping meds is a severely arduous task and it overloads me with suicidal thoughts every time. ive only attempted once and since starting estrogen forever ago it never occurred to me to attempt again.

        Same, I take it for sleeping too and it works well for that. I have to be on a couple other meds to alleviate depression and anxiety symptoms though.

      So by new you meant ooooooold, hahaha. Glad it works for you, but trazodone makes me very sleepy. It's actually used as a sleep aid pretty frequently.

        yeah like i think thats the ingredient that makes it work for me. 99% of antidepressants really make me caffeinated as hell. i just take traz at night and im gucci

      I got the impossible to sleep/100 cups of coffee and no erection side effects from really strong pain killers lol. Weird that certain anti-depressants have the same side effects as pain killers tbh

      I was on trazodone when I was in the hospital (two years ago) specifically for sleeping. Didn't really do much for the depression, but that very well could be because of the stress. I'm on clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, for OCD now and it works great except for the side effects. I don't have to worry about a stimulating effect, though, cause my antipsychotic will knock me right out. But I'm glad you're finding a treatment that works well for you :)
