"i had been using lorazepam &ldquo;as needed&rdquo; to deal with early-morning anxiety/insomnia for about 3 years but worried about tolerance, so wanted to try trazodone, hoping also for help with erections (i&rsquo;m 68). first night 25 mg did not help with insomnia (in fact made it worse) and caused brief nausea, but zero morning anxiety and 2 good erections. next night insomnia returned to baseline, no nausea or other side effects, and no anxiety, but no more erections. continued like this for 5 more nights. then i tried 50 mg for 3 nights. first night insomnia was worse but otherwise the same effects. next 2 nights saw next-day anxiety return, plus dry mouth, lightheadedness, weakness, and incoordination. thinking of bailing."
