Taking Trazadone with Hep C

by jules181, Feb 11, 2009 02:31PM
Any comments on taking trazodone when hep c positive?  my bf was diagnosed w/ hep c 6 years ago, has had 2 biopsies w/ the 2nd one last month showing small changes to his liver, but no recommendation for treatment yet.  anyway, he has a hard time sleeping, ambien doesnt always help, and he also has some depression, so we thought this might be a good medication for him.  thanks in advance.

i've been googling info on this, and i cant quite understand if the trazodone can worsen an already diseased liver, or if it actually CAUSES the hepatitis.. ??? help!

Maybe you could call a pharmacist?

I was prescribed Trazadone from a clinical trial, nothing happened as I didn't like it.  My point is it's totally safe or a clinical trial doctor wouldn't have prescribed it to me.  Personally I found that the 50mg tablets were too much.  Even though they may help with sleep, they weren't worth the way they made me feel when I woke up.  good luck
