Follow-Up:

I have just stopped using Trazodone. I have diagnosed with FMS and no sleep was huge problem. I was taking 100 mg each night before bed. Within two weeks, I was weepy, depressed and my feet and hands were so swollen with fluid they were grotesque. Coincidentally, I had a "junky" cough. I did not feel "good" on the drug and had my doctor prescribe something else. Tried Ambien but that gave me an a.m. headache, with no help for the FMS. I also felt foggy in the morning too. So after a bit of research, I asked for Klonipin; clonozapan. It has worked quite well. No weepiness, swelling, foggyness, headache. This certainly seems to help. Hope you have better luck with Trazadone than I did. Bon Chance!
