Notes - More Trazodone Information

Below we've detailed some specific notes and additional information about Trazadone.

Trazadone During Pregnancy
The effects of Trazadone during pregnancy have not yet been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. When taken, the Trazodone medication may appear in breast milk. If treatment with this drug is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding your baby until your treatment is finished.

Trazodone Dosage
Actual dosage must be determined by a physician. The usual starting dosage is a total of 150 milligrams per day, divided into 2 or more smaller doses. The doctor may increase dosage by 50 milligrams per day every 3 or 4 days. Total dosage should not exceed 400 milligrams per day, divided into smaller doses. Once the patient has responded well to the drug, the doctor may gradually reduce dosage. Because Trazodone causes drowsiness, the doctor may recommend that the patient take the largest dose at bedtime.

Trazadone & Heart Problems
A possible side effect of Trazodone use is a fast or fluttery heartbeat. Be very careful when taking this drug if you have heart disease. Only a physician can determine if Trazadone is right for a individual with a heart problem.
