My son suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2002 and was in a coma for 45 days. He has had problems since with sleep and was prescribed trazodone. He has been taking it for 4 years. A year ago a doctor increased his trazodone from 50 to 100 mg a day to 150 to 200 mg a day along with Lunesta 3 mg. Since that time he has began to stutter which has increased to the point where his speech is almost unrecognizable. He is in speech therapy now and still the speech is getting worse. MRI reveals nothing. My thought is that the large doses of trazodone could be the culprit. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
