"i&#039;ve tried several ssri-class medications over the years starting around age 15...(sertraline, lexapro, celexa). all of them gave me uncomfortable side effects...(anorgasmia, rls, nightmares, inability to sleep). i was never able to take them long enough to get any anti-depressant or anxiolytic effects due to the unbearable side effects.

i finally went and got a prescription for trazodone along with a prescription for valium around 5 days ago. i started by taking 12.5mg for 4 days. last night i upped my dose to 25mg. today is the first time i&#039;ve woken up and actually felt good. i can fall asleep quickly and easily and my mood has been greatly improved. i highly recommend this medicine to anyone who has not had good experiences with conventional ssris."
