Question 1

what are the side effects of taking zoloft (sertraline) and trazodone together at once? 150 mg for zoloft (sertraline) and 50 mg for trazodone.

Accepted Answer

Not many: Zoloft (sertraline) and trazodone are often prescribed together.  Some people find that zoloft (sertraline) can interfere with sleep and trazodone often provides the necessary sleep relief.  Make sure to take trazodone at bedtime, and i would recommend taking zoloft (sertraline) in the morning.  Zoloft (sertraline) and trazodone each have side effects, but their combination does not tend to cause other effects separate from those side effects.

Question 2

my doc put me on zoloft (sertraline) 100mg & i'm on trazodone 100mg, depakote, riperidal and serqaul are those meds dangerous for me to take together?

Accepted Answer

No: If your dr prescribed it this way. Risk/benefit ratio probably justify this (not so uncommon) combination. Ask your dr for the rationale behind it; if it works for you and you have no collateral effects, it is ok. Best wishes.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor : Each of the listed medications may cause side effects and there is a possibility for drug-drug interaction. Discuss this regime with your prescribing doctor as there may be extenuating circumstances that justify this regimen. Vicodin may lead to tolerance, dependance and addiction. Ibuprofen 4 x a day may lead to serious side effects.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Headache and Zoloft (sertraline): Headaches are possible side effects of both zoloft (sertraline) and trazodone. Usually, they go away with time as you take the medication. In some cases they do not, so it is very important to let your doctor know about the headaches. If the headache gets worse or you begin to have other symptoms such as confusion or dizziness, contact your doctor right away to let him/her know.

Question 6

Question 7

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Trazodone s/e?: You may have dizziness from Trazodone (dose you take not known). If dizziness occurs when changing positions, eg, from lying down to standing up, more likely from Trazodone. Discuss with prescribing doctor and get blood pressure checked. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
