Need medication for depression
human
Hi, my boyfriend is taking sertraline, trazadone, lorazapem, and sometimes hydroxyzine. It has been a month and a half since he started. He was admitted into the hospital for depression, the doctor that he saw there prescribed them. He does not have insurance, and we can't afford an out of pocket doctor visit. Saturday he was complaining that he felt dizzy, and was also confused. That night, he started hallucinating. He was very upset by what he was seeing, I eventually called 911. Four cop cars, a ambulance, and fire truck later, we were told that it was probably a side effect of his meds. It happenened again two nights later, but I was able to calm him a bit. I'm not a doctor, but I think it is being caused by the sertraline, and trazadone together. I talked to the pharmacist, and they said to stay on sertraline, if nothing else. Wil it hurt him to stop the trazadone suddenly? We have a six year old child here, and I need to make sure he is safe to be around.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicIf he feels dizziness, in that case, better to stop trazodone, hydroxyzine or lorazepam. All these cause sedation and may be due to sedation, he has done such acts. Keep her on sertraline only. In case, he feels sleep disturbance, then put him on low dose lorazepam.Thanks
