Hi,
to put long story short: in September I was prescribed venlafaxine + pregabalin & trazodone for sleep. It was a hell for me, especially in the mornings.

Why?

Terrible adrenaline dumps with derealization and depersonalization, feeling naseous, shaky, sweating and like fainting. Every day 7-11 AM.

They replaced venlafaxine with escitalopram. It became manageable but then I got semaglutide for weight loss (took only one dose) and it brought that hell again.

Now, it's been 6 months since my one and only semaglutide dose. Every day I keep having those hellish symptoms, escpecially in the mornings.

I read a little bit about POTS - and thought - maybe trazodone is causing all of that?

I have not fainted so far, maybe because adrenaline dumps keep me awake.

It is enough for me to wake up and I start feeling gnawing in my head and jaw and I know it will only get worse within an hour or two - causing me to have full blown attack.

I don’t know what to try/ do anymore. Doctors are just dismissing me, giving only stronger doses of meds which I am afraid to take.

Is it really dysautonomia? Or something worse? Any advices/suggestions?

Have you ever heard about trazodone causing all of that? They keep saying that it is my fault, that it is stress related. But I know that it is def not due to my stress (I am calm af).
