Discussion Trazodone OD?

[SpecialK]

Is it possible to OD on Trazodone? If yes, what are the symptoms? Could that be fatal?

If you read the background research, Rx overdosing has a very low chance of succeeding.

I think you would have to mix it in with a cocktail. I take 300mg with 10mg zolpidem to sleep.

For those of you suffering from night sweats, 300mg trazodone is the only way I can sleep through them. 200mg just wasn't cutting it.

When I take 50mg I feel like a zombie the day after. I can't imagine 300mg whaaat.

My doctor had me on 200mg trazodone and 20mg zolpidem. It was far more effective than Ambien CR which wasn't available as a generic at the time.

I am a zombie on autopilot until my second cup of coffee, but I've been that way.

Oh the joy's of the American healthcare system.

Trazadone would not be a successful drug if you are trying to CTB. It is often given to Veterans as part of their PTSD treatment and is specifically chosen since it is a very poor suicide drug and Veterans have a higher risk of suicide than the general population.

I OD'd twice on trazadone back in high school. The first was just the trazadone. The second time was trazadone and fluoxetine. Both times weren't suicide attempts but I used the meds (the trazadone more specifically) to help me sleep at night as well as help with anxiety/depression (which the meds didn't help much.)

Story Time:
So one day I got so manic that I just wanted nothing more than to sleep. So I took like 4 or 5 trazadone pills. For some reason i thought if i took more they'd work quicker (I'm an idiot clearly .) My body went numb all over. But not the good numb. The prickly numb you try to shake off. I couldn't shake it though so it was painful. My breathing slowed down. I felt really bad. My stomach hurt, but I eventually fell asleep. When I woke up I felt like utter shit. It hurt to walk and move. I was extremely lethargic. I felt really heavy.

The second time I was going through one of my depressive moods after being triggered one night. I just wanted to quickly escape, so i took a bunch of my meds. I'd say it was maybe 6 or 7 pills (mostly fluoxetine this time, but some trazadone as well.) I slept. I woke up the next morning surprisingly okay. When my mom found out that morning by snooping in my phone she freaked out and took me to the hospital. I slept most of that day. They had me on IV fluids and some other medication I can't remember. They ran all these tests. I barely ate. I don't remember much of that day. It was some of the best sleep I ever had. It was really peaceful. Until they sectioned me and I had to go to a facility for almost two weeks lol.

Granted I didn't take a lot when I did it , I highkey doubt od-ing on trazadone will result in death.

Jeezus christ. I took 400mg of Trazodone last night before bedtime. And now I feel like a zombie, it's almost 3pm and I can definitely still feel it. I HATE the feeling they give to me.

I'm on 150mg for sleep + depression, would not recommend it for ODing. Trazodone gives me heart palpitations if I don't fall asleep right away.
