Reducing Trazodone
UpdatedFollowing an ECG, my psychiatrist has reduced my trazodone ( which I have been taking for many years for depression and anxiety ) I have gone from 300mg/day to 250mg/day, then after a week from 250mg/day to 200mg/day. That is as much as I have to reduce it. I am one week in and my mood has dropped low and my anxiety and binge eating is worse. Is this possible?

Yes, according to NIH reports, it is normal to experience some withdrawal effects, they could also include nausea, fever, chills, and rebound depression.
However, things should improve, after a week, or so, once your body adjusts to the new dosage.
How are you doing now? Has there been any change?

No, no change as yet, I am still feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
