Hi Amit,

Thanks for writing in to Healthcare Magic!

Your problem seems to be related to side effects of trazodone or Monopas.

Reduce the trazodone dose in supervision of your physician as much as possible.

You can not reduce the dose of Monopas but get it tuned to your body weight which can cut down on dose some what.

add B complex vitamin suppliment to give a further help.

T.B. in today's world is difficult disease to treat due to rampant resistant TB bacteria.

Your doctor might have found a difficult to treat, resistant type of infection in you. So yourclinician has started you on reserve drugs. So keep a faith in your doctor and keep a regular follow up.

If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.

Wish you a great health!
