hello from connectciut

  • my name is sandy i take trazodone for depression that is make me gain weight does anyone here take it .
  • hey...I don't take traxodone, but I noticed no one was posting on your thread...maybe try a more descriptive topic so more people check it out. I've heard a lot of depression medications cause weight gain...have you talked to your doctor about it? Does it help with the depression, at least?
  • Hi there and

    I don't take trazodone either, but I did gain quite a bit of weight with paxil. I've just recently switched to wellbutrin. The drugs seem to affect everyone differently.
    I just wanted to say Hi and if you'd like you are more than welcome to join us in the daily chat thread, there are a lot of wonderful understanding ladies in there. But then again there are wonderful groups all through this site.

    Take care and hope to see more of you,

  • Sandy, are you on a high dosage?

    I take a low dose of Trazodone at night to help me sleep. One pill... I think that's 50mg?
    Otherwise I take Wellbutrin and Fluoxetine for my depression.

    As Kelly said, talk to your doctor about it. She/he may have some alternatives or suggestions for you.

  • I used to take Trazodone to get me to sleep at night, other than that I don't take "ANY" prescription stuff anymore cause there is the chance of it screwing with your memory.. my memory started going downhill the day I first started on depression medication.. had tremors too.. so I don't believe in depression meds no more.
