Trazadone Weight Gain

My name is Sue, & I myself have taken Trazadone. It belongs to the Benzodiazapan family. It didn't make me lose weight, quite the opposite. In 11 months I have gained a total of 85 lbs. I went to the doctor & he told me to quit eating & exercise. So I felt that I could trust what he said because hes a DR. Finally I went to a different Dr. & he prescribed me Effexor XR and ever since, (27 days ago) I have lost 14 lbs. I'm no Dr. but it worked for me so ask your Dr. about it.
