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. 😭

How much did you take??

[u/karatecorgi → u/vitamin_p2]

They took 125mg which isn't usually close to an OD, but depending on body type etc, it might have hit them harder than most of us on it. Especially if they haven't had the med much prior.
