"stopping trazodone asap and here&#039;s why. worked for me for about 4 or 5 months but when i needed a higher dosage of it (100-150 mgs), the really bad side effects began. i&#039;m talking the worst hand tremors ever, to the point where i have trouble holding a pen and writing. i am writing this on my phone and can barely hold it steady. the mental/cognitive effects are worse, i mean seriously i thought i had a brain tumor or something along those lines!!! extreme confusion, severe short-term memory loss, i&#039;m dizzy pretty much all the time and the lack of coordination is so bad that my driving suffered. the effects were never at night after i took it, always the next day. if you feel like you&#039;re losing it, you aren&#039;t. just stop taking trazodone."
