Tradozone - Don't Screw With It

We are not Beverly Hills Housewives, one of the most significant health threats in America and the authors of anti-vaxx.  You can't tag the GOP with this one and it's true they don't care about your life and obviously the Beverly Hills Housewives don't but it still doesn't make them Republicans.  All of them want nothing more than their fifteen minutes of fame and that's more than they're likely to get.  Thanks for the love and the measles, kiddos.  Have a nice if highly self-aggrandizing life.

On Facebook I routinely drop people for posting false medical information and there's an immense traffic in every hare-brain theory of medicine ... except real ones.  It's titillating to the people who do it to get a bit of recognition even when it's false.

"There's no such thing as bad publicity so long as they spell your name right." - P.T. Barnum


Starting from the top with Tradozone:

Commonly reported side effects of trazodone include: blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headache, and xerostomia.  Other side effects include: syncope, edema, tachycardia, hypotension, diarrhea, ataxia, insomnia, sedation, and confusion.

Note:  I apologize for failing to include the citation.  It was from one of the drug references on the Internet and all of the reputable ones contain information straight from the PDR (i.e. slang for the Physician's Desk Reference).


If those symptoms weren't evil enough for you, continue to the RL experience.

Sleeping has always been difficult for me and I'm loath to take sleep medications because I've never heard anything good about any of them.  Call me a doper if you like but there's only one medication I take regularly plus I blow some ganja when it's around.  A good many readers are almost certainly popping more stuff into themselves than that and many women I have known have a plastic bag full of prescribed medications which they carry about with them.

The typical regard for me if any at all is as a doper and then the judgment comes.  Here's why they do it and all together now on this one:  because it's easier than judging themselves.

Maestro, rim shot, please.


So the stuff was prescribed and with considered misgivings I took it.  That was a major mistake as I did sleep but the next day was a nightmare.  I matched about half of the symptoms on that list and here's the beauty part:  Tradozone is not supported as a sleep medication and is actually an anti-depressant.  What's wrong with anti-depressants?  All together now:  everything!

At first I thought eating had done it to me because I have significant trouble with pushing food into myself and this time there were hideous gastric consequences but it seems less likely food was the cause of the symptoms based on the side-effects listed above.

As above:  Tradozone - Don't screw with it.

Thanks. I do appreciate it but I'm leery of those too. That solution may well be the best answer, tho.

In fact, I remember the Roboheads from Mind Bleach playing in the basement?? Do you remember who they were. Doc reminded me later they were the Goshorn Brothers!

There sure was some nutso stuff in that basement from time to time!
