TRAZODONE DRUG INFO
HOW TO USE
Take trazodone tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the
prescription label. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water.
Take trazodone shortly after a meal or a light snack. Take your
doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often
than directed. Do not stop taking the tablets except on your prescriber's
advice. Contact your pediatrician or health care professional
regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may
be needed.
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health
care professional as soon as possible: fainting spells; fast or
irregular heartbeat (palpitations); painful erections or other
sexual dysfunction; skin rash; trembling. Side effects that usually
do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or
health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
blurred vision; constipation; drowsiness, dizziness; dry mouth;
headache; muscle aches or pains; nausea, vomiting; unusual tiredness
or weakness. PRECAUTIONS Visit your prescriber or health care
professional for regular checks on your progress. You may have
to take trazodone for two weeks or more before you feel better.
If you have been taking trazodone for some time, do not suddenly
stop taking it. Your prescriber or health care professional may
want you to gradually reduce the dose; ask for advice. You may
get drowsy, dizzy or have blurred vision. Do not drive, use machinery,
or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how
trazodone affects you. Do not stand or sit up quickly, especially
if you are an older patient. This reduces the risk of dizzy or
fainting spells. Alcohol may increase dizziness or drowsiness;
avoid alcoholic drinks. Trazodone can make your mouth dry. Chewing
sugarless gum, sucking hard candy and drinking plenty of water
will help. Do not treat yourself for coughs, colds, or allergies
without asking your prescriber or health care professional for
advice. Some ingredients may increase possible side effects. If
you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health
care professional that you are taking trazodone. DRUG INTERACTIONS
