Is anyone familiar with the anti-depressant/sleep medication Trazodone? Experience any side effects? Or have the effected your blood at all? Thanks!

Brandy176, no bad side effects from Trazadone. I use it for sleep and love it.

I've been taking trazodone for 7 nights now, 50mg as a sleepaid and it doesn't seem to help me sleep as well as it should. It makes me thirsty and a little bit tired and yet slightly agitated during the day. I'm on a few other meds also, for bi-polar also. Medicines effect different people differently, so those are just the side effects that I'm noticing.

Tried it, no sleep, only a really bad headache. Gave it to my husband, he slept, no side effects.

My sister was on it. Terrible dry mouth and heart palpitations, (which she had never experienced before) and she complained of fatigue and feeling drowsy. It seemed to make her already disturbed sleep pattern worse. Her blood tests while on it were normal.
