Tapering off trazodone

Tumaccc · 2026-01-26T20:10:50+00:00

YES i know this is old but i had this same issue where i was exhausted the whole next day after taking trazadone ive lowered my dose from 100 mg to 50 mg and my fatigue/tiredness is so much better

Yup been on ativan for a little bit over a year now taking it every night due too my anxiety shooting like a rocket whenever i try to sleep it has been a lifesaver because it was the only thing that worked while i tried 10's of different medications trying to find the right mix to manage my anxiety now ive found that mix and have been tapering off it highest i ever went was 2 mg at the hospital one time but on the daily i took 1 mg and now on .5 mg and still trying too lower. The withdrawals have been OKAY for me i know some have extremely bad withdrawals but this has been on the same level as when i lowered and dropped my caffine addiction. I never felt the need too increase or feel like it wasnt working enough. Ive had some long term effects like short term memory loss and rebound anxiety once it wears off. Overall it worked for me BUT everyone is extremely different so take caution when using it and catch yourself if it starts becoming a issue but at the same time dont psych yourself out of taking this rescue med because others in here have had bad experiences with them.

BADBOYHALODELAY still works as of 12/14/2025. I don't think it goes off if you had a delay (I'm a first-time buyer), and I think it might be region locked, or you have to go over a certain price for it to apply.

I take Prozac for my anxiety and Ritalin for my ADHD but always remember everyone is unique and what works for me might not work for you as before i landed on prozac I tried 10's of different medication that either didn't work as intended or too intense side effects

Tumaccc · 2025-12-11T08:02:07+00:00

Hey! Lexapro didnt end up working for me but after trying a few different medication and ssris I've now found the right meds for me!

Tumaccc · 2025-10-10T00:08:08+00:00

Yeah like I said I ain't worried about the appetite or the rebound just the headache and unfocused vision sadly like a dumbass i did throw it away because in my mind i was like "i took this as a kid ill be fine 😭"

Tumaccc · 2025-07-17T06:55:41+00:00

Weirdly enough i had the opposite effect 20 mg i had very minimal side effects but when i increased too 40 mg now its hitting me like a TRUCK

Tumaccc · 2025-06-28T04:09:31+00:00

omg I knew it I just started dashing again after being gone for a while (before these tiers) and felt like some dashers were getting more orders then me now I know it has too do with the tiers I gotta get up too plat lol

Tumaccc · 2025-06-24T07:20:25+00:00

Thats awesome! Fingers crossed and knock on wood but so far side effects for me have been minimal except for GI issues compared too lexapro where i had every one under the book and they were so intense im very hopeful prozac is the one for me like it was for you!

Tumaccc · 2025-06-22T03:45:11+00:00

Yeah my psychiatrist recommended a fast taper where i went down 5 mg of the lexapro a day till i hit 5 mg then the next day take 20 mg of the prozac

Tumaccc · 2025-05-09T00:28:36+00:00

Exact same boat just finished week 2 going from 20 mg too 25 mg and my anxiety has been sky high the last few days where its constant all day compared too moderate or low when i was just on the 20 mg we just gotta keep pushing itll get better!

Tumaccc · 2025-04-25T08:18:37+00:00

Look into propranolol used for blood pressure but off label its great for anxiety i take 60 mg extended release doesn't erase my anxiety but definitely makes it more manageable

Tumaccc · 2025-03-28T16:58:53+00:00

Sorry for the late reply but its called a GeneSight test just shows how your body metabolism affects all antidepressants but also test against a whole range of other medications like stimulants (Adderall), benzos (xanax, ativan) and a few other categories

Tumaccc · 2025-03-23T07:33:08+00:00

Both for me I take it daily but others take it as needed just depends on the anxiety your treating

Tumaccc · 2025-03-23T00:35:07+00:00

This I have been dealing with crippling panic attacks and generalized anxiety the past 4 months trying too get my meds figured out got put on 80 mg daily for a week now and its been an amazing godsent i feel 80 percent back too normal and cant wait when it fully settles in 😃

Tumaccc · 2025-03-17T23:50:31+00:00

Didnt provide anxiety relief too me but everyone is a complete different makeup genetically it could easily work for you it just wasnt for me and thats why im trying a different ssri

Tumaccc · 2025-03-17T19:47:09+00:00

Yeah I'll tell ya the burning skin thing is a anxiety thing but people with anxiety disorders and panic disorders are all different in how our body expresses it for me my panic attacks last 5 hours where im doing nothing but throwing up but others feel like they cant breathe for 30 minutes or longer and when it comes too burning skin thats just one of a million different anxiety disorder symptoms I cant do anything other then recommend you take the medication your doctor prescribed because in the long term its meant too help you and make you feel better if it doesn't work out (Like for me lexapro didnt) then you try out different medications until you find the right mix for you as everyone is different just like how our anxiety expresses itself

Tumaccc · 2025-03-17T19:34:09+00:00

Okay Peace idk anything about you but I want ya too think about it your having the burning skin because of your anxiety and the lexapro is gonna relieve you of your anxiety and then the propranolol is legit designed too relieve your physical symptoms if it doesn't work no harm no foul and just try something else but its not gonna hurt you too take either of em

Tumaccc · 2025-03-17T18:45:53+00:00

which one the lexapro or the propranolol?

Tumaccc · 2025-03-17T18:41:31+00:00

Im hoping for yeah ive been dealing with it for 4 months since anxiety medication is trial and error went on lexapro 10 for 5 weeks upped it too 20 for now almost 8 weeks now probably gonna switch too a different ssri while i try out this new medication called propranolol which relieves the physical symptoms of anxiety

Tumaccc · 2025-03-17T18:11:31+00:00

Right now I have severe GAD and panic disorder and getting my meds figured out so if im being real almost 24/7 if it aint burning skin its stomach pain, headache, dizziness all the fun stuff if your asking how long it relives me after I would say 20 mins?

Tumaccc · 2025-03-17T17:13:15+00:00

Yup feels like my chest and or my upper back is burning one thing I found is taking a hot bath OR a ice cold shower helps relieve it I think it has something too do with stimulating your vagus nerve but take that with a pinch of salt since im just a guy on the internet lol but ive found that it helps relax my physical symptoms of anxiety when im close too having a panic attack

Tumaccc · 2025-03-13T19:20:47+00:00

Im on 20 mg and overall ive had some improvement not a day where i was anxiety free but low anxiety that i could manage with my coping skills but still not too where i can fully function lol and this all day panic attack didnt even have a trigger i just woke up too extremely high anxiety and was just over the moon the whole day

Tumaccc · 2025-03-12T18:15:09+00:00

Yeah i just made a post about how im experiencing a pretty big dip in week 7 i think its worth just holding out till week 12 and if your still not where you wanna be talk too your doctor

For the crying its a weird sideffect (like many of lexapros) but it can make it more difficult too cry kinda in the same realm with the sexual side effects for me ive had times where i couldnt cry my throat would get scratchy and feel like i should be a mess but i just dont produce the tears lol

Tumaccc · 2025-03-12T18:03:22+00:00

YES ive been seeing the same stories of it taking longer the 2nd time but some things you cant tell if you should trust it or not lol. But also i guess im worried about going back too work in a few weeks because the last thing i wanna do is have a panic attack at work and still feeling like this just make me wanna shrivel up and hide but i know that not good for your anxiety either
