I have been given some bad scrips. That is why I look everything up. Doctors are not always right.
I am prescribed trazadone for sleep, handy because it is also an anti-depressant.
Works out well.
The only side effect I dislike, is that it can cause unusually vivid dreams, so we adjusted my dosage down.
And my depression is better treated.
YAY!
I also take lexapro.
So, I am on a double whammy for depression.

While I am on a roll, I have recently learned that people with depression have smaller amalgydas (a brain part) and that if not medically treated it continues to shrink and atrophy, thus depression is a progressive disease.
