Trazadone side effects

[AJWS6]

Hi, no idea where to ask this question, since Trazadone is SSRI, thought I'd try here.  I've had a nervous condition, jitters, shaking, essential tremors, roller coaster energy levels, etc.....  My endoctrine system is fine according to endo, hormone, diabetes, adrenals, etc....  he suspects Trazadone causing symptoms.  

I began using Trazadone July 2017, so about 9 months, prescribed by my pcp.  I take 25mg nightly for sleep.  Med knocks me out, for great night sleep  But, I've also developed symptoms I listed above.  Not sure if it's Trazadone.  

Has anyone had any side effect issues using Trazadone ?  Could share experience.  Thanks for feedback.

I've never taken it, but these are side effects you can get from almost any antidepressant.  I'd probably listen to your endocrinologist.  But you have to taper off this med slowly, not just quit, if you decide to do that.  One of the problems a lot of people have is taking drugs for their side effects.  Trazadone isn't a sleep remedy, but it had the unwanted side effect of making people very sedated.  These types of drugs were then often marketed, sometimes illegally, for sleep, or used that way by doctors, who can use any approved medication for any purpose they want to.  The problem often comes in with the effects of the drug, which it has too, it doesn't just sedate you.  I don't know why you have a sleep problem or the nature of it, but using a drug all the time to help you sleep will eventually bite you because it can make your insomnia worse -- you haven't learned to sleep well, you've drugged yourself to sleep.  Sometimes that's the best we can do, but more natural approaches or therapy or the like are better places to start and general doctors generally don't know much about this stuff, it's not what they study in school.  Unfortunately, if you can't find any other reason for it, your only choice is to stop the trazadone and see if that makes the problems go away, but again, this has to done carefully and your general doc probably doesn't know how to do this.  You don't want a withdrawal problem in addition to what you're already suffering.
