In reply to Trazodone side effects??????, posted by InsomniaMom on June 8, 2002, at 22:52:54
Hi -- I was researching on trazodone just now and saw your post from way back. I was talking to another person with high cortisol on a Cushing's syndrome website, and we were discussing bad reactions to meds in the past and trazodone came up. We both had a bad reaction to it and never tried it again. Your reaction to it sounded similar to the way I've been reacting to drugs during the time I've had Cushing's.
The stretching could have been due to ACTH release (the hormone that controls cortisol release). Well, maybe, that is -- could also be serotonin. The nausea and feeling cold the following day would be you being in a state like Addison's where not enough cortisol is produced. Really guessing here, of course. I'm sure there are other explanations.
Maybe it was just induced by a wellbutrin interaction, but there's a chance you could have a cortisol or other hormonal problem going on. Seems a bit suspicious too that wellbutrin stopped working, what changed about you? Why do you only sleep a few hrs a night? Maybe get a urine free cortisol checked sometime.
Hope its nothing but thought if I didn't say something.... well anyhow it's a thought.
