Trazadone can and does work however one risk for males is something called priapism (spelling) . Without being crude and disrespectful to the ladies, priapism is a condition where you have uncontroled painful and lasting erections that without treatment can cause damage to that male part. The fix is usually an injection to the bass of the penis and or valium. This didn't happen to me but I know someone who experienced this lovely side effect.

this is Magpie I can't log in again.

That is a side effect that is not limited to males as there has been a few repported instances of female parts becomming engorged also. But I am taking a low dose and it is an uncommon side effect. Like many things in the health world it is a caculated risk.

Sorry 'bout that DieselGal. I didn't particularly enjoy my "trip". Guess you can tell I'm not a child of the 60s!

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

I believe that Rooster. When i picked up my perscription I was shocked t find my copay was only 68 cents I am hoping it's the answer cause I can surely afford this one. LOL
