What Is The Remedy For Depression With Frequent Crying Spells And Increased Anxiety When On Trazodone?
I am taking 50 mg Trazodone at night for anxiety and depression. My depression is worsening with frequent crying spells and increased anxiety. Other medicines I take are methotrexate for psoriasis and synthroid for hypothyroidism. I am also having trouble remembering things. Any suggestions?
Thank you for asking on HCM If I was your treating physician i would suggest the following: 1. Increase the dose of trazodone to 100mg. 2. Consider adding an SSRI 3. Consider adding a benzodiazepene for short term and then tappering off to control anxiety. 4. Suggest your psychotherapy and counselling sessions for your concerns and conflict resolution.
I hope you find this helpful.
