I tested positive for marijuana. I haven't taken any in 2 months but I do take trazodone. ## Is trazodone the problem? ## How could I test positive at the dr office for marijuana if i never used it in my life or been near anyone who did? No poppy seed bagels, no antibiotics. I am just prescribed steroids and Lupus meds, and monthly infusion for my Lupus. I was so very embarrassed when they told me my urine test results! I asked to be retested as was told no, which seemed strange. I went to my family dr the next day who agreed to send me to the lab for a urine test, as i told her i never did drugs/marijuana in my life except what was prescribed: Roxicodone, steroids, Lupus meds, heart arrhythmia med, and Aleve for inflammation from Lupus. I'm still waiting for results, but the fa...

Yes I was on suboxone, for seven months. My doctor drug tested me three times back to back. She kept saying I was positive for benzo's. She had me on Zoloft, I had some trazodones with refills when I started going to her. The last time I went (I have no insurance, the first month I went to see her I spent a total of 850$ because I was coming off methadone, and she made me keep coming back every week). well I kept telling her there was no way I had Benzodiazepines n my system, so she says well I am only gonna give u 15, come back n two weeks, take the test, if its clean, then I will see no charge since u just paid the 200 office visit, so the two weeks went by, (my finance & family kept say maybe the cups r contaminated. I continued to take my suboxone, trazodone, and Zoloft. Two...

What is the difference between Trazodone100 MG Tablet APO and Trazodone 100 MG Tablet PLI ? ## Only the manufacturer, the one listed as APO is made by Apotex Pharmaceuticals and the one listed as PLI is made by Pliva Pharmaceuticals.

Can you split this medication so that it is 25 mg? ## Since it is not a time released mediation, yes, you can safely split the tablet if necessary.

I want to know how well trazodone treats severe anxiety? I see that it treats mostly sleep disorders and depression but how does it treat anxiety if it's mostly for depression and sleep? ## Most antidepressants can treat various mental health issues, as well as depression and insomnia. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, drowsiness, and weight changes. Has it been prescribed for you? Are you on any other medications?

One side NOVO other side it says 100. It is white and looks like a perc with a line through it. I don't know what it is. Its from Canada. Thanks ## I am sorry, but I cannot find a listing for this in any of our resources, which makes sense if it is from Canada. They do not have a comprehensive databases of markings, like the U.S. does. I will keep looking. Does anyone else recognize this? ## Thanks, not even the pharmacist could tell me what it was. This is honestly the first time EVER I couldn't identify a pill. ## This pill is a novo-Trazodone. It is an anti depressant prescribed as a sleep aide. ## Yes, this is Trazadone 100mg. It can be used for sleep, but usually the dose for sleep is 25mg to 50mg. It is still used as an antidepressant. The main worry with use in men is the...

I take Trazodone, its not a narcotic but its like a Seroquel and it knocks you out. When i wake up in middle of the night to go to the restroom i have to lean my head on the wall very strong just like Seroquels. So its like a narcotic but beware don't take it every day cause it will have you sleepy if you miss a day of taking it. ## From what I could gather, Pliva 434 does indeed contain the active ingredient Trazodone (100 mg). For verification, this pill is manufactured by Teva and carries a National Drug Code of 50111-0434. Trazodone belongs to a class of drugs called phenylpiperazine and is not categorized as a narcotic medication. However I do find it interesting that it's an antidepressant with multiple use-cases such as insomnia. It should also be noted that "unusual ...

I found a small white tablet with 5589 on one side, score on the other side and DAN DAN on each side of the score. It's about 10 years old. Can someone tell me what it is? ## @Eli, I located a round white pill with 5599 on one side and scored on the other with DAN DAN on each side of the score. This particular pill is identified as a 100mg Trazodone hydrochloride tablet, which is in the drug class of antidepressants. For verification, the size of this pill is approximately 11.00 mm. It also carries a National Drug Code of 00591-5599 and was reportedly manufactured by Watson (a company that no longer exists due to acquisitions by Actavis and more recently Teva). With this information in mind I would question if the 8 on your pill is actually 9? Hope this helps!

I want to know what these pills are: A white and round pill with the number 433 and a brown capsule with the numbers 0813. 75mg. ## Hello, Larry! How are you? The capsule with TEVA 75mg 0813 on it is listed by Teva Pharmaceuticals as containing 75mgs of Nortiptyline, which is an antidepressant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight changes. Does the one with the 433 on it also have PLIVA on it? If so, Pliva lists it as containing 50mgs of Trazodone, which is another antidepressant that is also used to treat insomnia. It's side effect profile is very similar to the previously mentioned medication.

I've been taking Lexamil 20mg once a day for a few years now and it has really assisted me in controlling my anxiety attacks. I very rarely have an attach and if so, only mild ones. yesterday evening i took one extra tablet by mistake where i usually take Trazodone in the evening. This means that i have taken 20mg of Lexamil yesteday morning, again yesterday evening and again this morning, so instead of the normal 40mg in 24 hours i had 60mg. I did not take my Trazodone yesterday evening. I just want to know if i have overdosed? ## Hello, Stella! How are you? Did you suffer any adverse effects? That is a high dose to take in 24 hours, but it most likely wouldn't do more than make you sick. However, it would be best to double check this with your doctor to be sure. ## Hey I take ...

I was on Traz for about 5 months. I went from 50 mg down to 25 mg and then quit all together about a week or so ago. I can tell my anxiety is in part due to getting off Traz. Any idea how long I can expect to have these withdrawal symptoms? ## Mike, Not to discount your feelings nor the anxiety you experiencing however trazadone taken at such a nominal dose for a relatively short period of time should pose no pharmacological withdrawal on the body.Untreated anxiety can be accentuated by many environmental factors.If these symptoms persist I'd highly recommend seeing a specialist to evaluate your condition and decide if pharmaceutical intervention is deemed appropriate. All the best

Why do I have tons of energy after taking trazodone? I can't sleep at all when I take this medicine. It's like I'm on methamphetamine or something. ## Sometimes, for unknown reasons, medications have the opposite of their intended effects on some people that take them, the NIH and FDA both have several reports archived about this. It's the same as how some people experience depression, when taking an antidepressant, or how some stimulants calm some people. Have you informed your doctor?

will taking 200 mg of trazodone cause a false positive for benzos ## No, Trazodone hasn't been known to cause a false positive for Benzodiazepines, it's known to cause them for LSD and Amphetamines. Learn more Trazodone details here. Was the person in question taking anything else, even over the counter products? If you can post back with this information, I'll gladly research the details for you! ## I just got off the phone with my insurance company. I have supplemental that pays me extra if I'm Hospitalized because of an accident. Well the insurance company just told me that after me waiting over a year that my claim was denied. They told me that I tested positive for LSD. That really blew me away. I've tried it once like 22 years ago. So I knew something was reall...

My girl got overly depressed and took 500 mg of trazodone at once. Can this be fatal? It's been a few hours and she is tired. I've been watching over her but I'm worried. ## How is she doing? Did she suffer any other adverse effects? An overdose of this medication could result in depression of the central nervous system, which does have the potential to be fatal, according to the FDA. In the future, when unsure, it is always best to consult a medical professional, or seek help from your nearest emergency services.

Is their sulfa in trazodone as I am allergic to sulfa,it caused my mouth to itch after the second pill. ## Hello, Judy! How are you? No, that is the active ingredient it, it is an antidepressant that is often used to help with insomnia. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and weight changes. However, that does not mean that you may not also be allergic to this medication. Many people who are allergic to one medication, often discover they are allergic to other medications, as well. Have you discussed the problem with your doctor?

I just read on Web md that the Fda Now considers trazadone a narcotic. Is this true? ## Hello, Mcky! How are you? No, Trazodone is an SARI class antidepressant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. It is possible that the person who wrote what you read may have confused it with Tramadol, which is a very common error. Tramadol has been reclassified several times and is now considered an opioid, due to the fact that it is very closely related to narcotics and the FDA has found it to be habit forming. Is there anything else I can help with?
