Re: Am I really negative for UARS? Taking Trazodone

Thanks for the info, Julie. I would agree that it's preferable to be without drugs. I'm concerned about the effect on my memory. That is one reason why I am looking towards treating for UARS. It's not that no one looked very hard or tried to help me, it's that no one could figure out what was going ...

I've also been cold with low blood pressure since I was a child.

Re: Am I really negative for UARS? Taking Trazodone

Can you post more about the negative consequences of being on trazodone? Also, more information about what happens for the good when people get off sleep medications? Are there any studies? I am certainly habituated to trazodone, but I could get off of it slowly, I expect. Are there any studies you ...

Re: Am I really negative for UARS? Taking Trazodone

I think my sleep problems are well beyond anything sleep hygeine could touch. It's kind of nuts. Before trazodone, I could not fall asleep until 3am. I did not become sleepy, I just became to ill to be awake any longer. I had the distinct sensation that my body simply would not take the sleep that I...

Re: Am I really negative for UARS? Taking Trazodone

I wanted to draw everyone's attention to this device: https://dnaappliance.com/ It's like a permanent fix for the bone structure that causes sleep disordered breathing. FDA approved for OSA. It's the one I want. And yes on the Raynaud's. No migraines though. Also BP 85/55. I'm a rip roaring ball of ...

Re: Am I really negative for UARS? Taking Trazodone

Add to my symptoms list night time urination and IBS. This is what I found about trazodone. It decreases your sensitivity to waking up in response to sleep disordered breathing. One question is- how do I do a sleep test where I am able to go back to sleep after waking up when I just stay awake if I'...

Re: Am I really negative for UARS? Taking Trazodone

With a little luck, I will receive a full report in the mail tomorrow and I will post it. He said I had a "few" apneas total during the night and 3 rera's per hour. Normal percentages of REM, etc. Sleep tech let it slip that I had a lot of REM. I guess the report will reveal all. What are alternativ...

Am I really negative for UARS? Taking Trazodone

My sleep doctor called today and said I only have 3 RERA's per hour. I was taking trazodone plus zinc picolinate which I find very sedating for some reason when I took the sleep test. My last sleep test I was literally awake for all but 45 minutes of the night, so I took extra stuff to stay asleep. ...
