careful with that axe, Eugene. Trazadone is the drug that sent my aunt and my cousin inpatient and launched my mother on her cross-country journey to dump my dad. Works great for some people. For a select few, it launches manic episodes of florid craziness.

There's also remeron but I wouldn't be surprised if it also made a minority of patients suicidal or something.

Ethanol also works in a pinch but it's made me suicidal

I suppose most antidepressants have that risk of batshit freak out. They put me on a mood elevator once and I couldn't sleep until I got back to the doctor. Psychopharmacology is part luck and voodoo. Still probably a better drug than ambien. It just knocks me out and I don't even drive around in a blackout or anything.

Maybe so. All I can say is that in 40 years of dealing with my crazy mother, Trazadone was the only one that sent her around the bend... after sending two of her relatives there first.

Isn't that the shit that batshit crazy NASA woman was on when she drove cross country in diapers to take some man away from his wife, or something equally Florida like that?
