Hi everyone.
I been taking Molipaxin (Trazadone) for approximately 4 years. I was eventually put on these meds by and an Army Psychiatrists after trying other meds unsuccessfully. I was later medically discharged from Army with recurrent depression and generalized anxiety. I did receive lots of CBT and other support but was far from stable on my discharge.
Last spring I really spiraled and had periods of strong suicidal thoughts. I sort help from my GP and eventually became stable again. I made some big life changes (for me) like stopping drinking alcohol (I used to drink every day) and reducing caffeine to almost non. I then experienced a big shift in my mental health from Depression to bad anxiety.
Everyday is a struggle to keep the anxiety under control and deal with other side effects which I now feel come from the medication. I have on a few occasions tried to discuss symptoms and side effect with my GP but have experienced a reluctance from them to change things.
I have been experience greater fatigue, frustration, loneliness and confusion recently and now feel I need have another discussion with my GP. At the moment I am considering trying a different medication as I feel the increased anxiety could be partly to do with the Trazadone.
Not sure what I'm asking here but if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.
Cheers
Si
