Withdrawal from Trazodone. Need hope

Posted by extra @extra, Apr 22, 2023

I am on day 10 trying to wean off 50mg of Trazodone. Taking it to sleep about 6months. This is terrible. I am dizzy and weak. Very anxious. Sometimes nauseated. Have to force myself to eat Trouble walking. I am under a Dr’s care but no one helping. I got off Xanax easier. Anyone successful at this? I need hope.

I was taken off of trazodone pretty much cold turkey. I was being given clonazepam 1 MG. as well. I believe my doctor wanted me off because she felt it was not good to continue at my age. Both of these drugs were given for problems with sleep from my having been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I have had some difficulties with anxiety and panic attacks, but have attributed most of that to my present cancer problems. I am still on clonazepam, and it appears to be doing well for the sleep issue and helping a bit with the panic attacks.
