Accepted Answer

Side-effects caution: First ,you need to know why it was prescribed. Second, you need to look for other solutions with fewer or no side effects. You have two medicines prescribed. They both interact with each other and then with you a unique individual. This makes the side effects difficult to predict in advance.

Question 7

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 8

have been taking trazodone for sleep for five years. sex drive has been non-existent the last two years. is it possible the trazodone is causing this? i had no issues for the first three years. can side effects come on years later?

Accepted Answer

: Hello, hope you are doing fine. Increased Libido (Sex Drive) is one of the side effects listed of Trazodone, not low sex drive, but non-listed side effects can occur &amp; can occur later on also, but in your case, it is happening after 3 yrs, this is kind of very late, maybe there are some other factors playing a role in decreased libido.

Question 9

if i take trazodone will i get side effects again? i abused it one night and it caused me anxiety and my heart to race. i haven't took it in along time. will it still cause the side effects even if my body hasnt had it in awhile?

Accepted Answer

When : When you say you abused it, I am assuming you took more than you were prescribed to take. In this case, the side effects you listed do commonly occur. If you abuse again, then yes you will likely experience similar side effects. If you take the recommended dosage then you are less likely to have those side effects, however it is possible. There is no real way to tell until you take the medication again. If you take it again and have the same effect, you should see your psychiatrist for a change in medication.
