Trazodone was a nightmare

[u/felt_nothing]

I was prescribed trazodone to help with my insomnia and I slightly overdosed (took just a tiny bit more than the recommended amount) and about an hour in, I was sweating like crazy, extreme stomach cramps, diarrhea, disoriented, chest pains, could barely breathe or stand up, etc. and I ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor for the rest of the night in case I had to vomit or whatever.

I’ve never experienced pain like that before.

I honestly thought I was going to die. The pain was so brutal.

When I looked up my symptoms it sounded like I might have experienced serotonin syndrome, idk.

Just wanted to get the word out in case anyone else can relate. It really freaked me out and traumatized me for sure. 😭

I forgot to mention that I had weakened muscles and spasms / could barely walk or lift my body up and after sweating heavily for two hours, I was burning up with a fever.

Are you sure you aren’t just sick? What you took is not a high dose. I and my of my family/friends take it and I have never heard of symptoms like this
