Depression
"Trazodone has been a Godsend for me. I tried all the &quot;new SSRI&#039;s&quot;, like prozac, zoloft, paxil and lexapro etc. and they all made my symptoms worse. My doctor finally decided to try a couple of older, first generation ant-depressants. Elavil was okay, but Trazodone, when I finally got to it, really kicked ALL my symptoms. I didn&#039;t have the side effects of the newer SSRI type medications. Trazodone, did not cause insomnia, but rather allowed me to get to sleep. The SSRI&#039;s all caused nervousness, agitation and insomnia. Trazodone had no adverse effects other than mild heartburn at the beginning."
