The psychiatrist says to me.. why would you want to get off of something that makes you feel good.. after a while, it stops the purpose and brings a ton of brick of new problems.. Please Please Hang On.. There are many of us who are feeling just the way you are.. We have to hold on.. I am going through a huge withdrawal.. but I can't go back.. There is Going To Be A Great Beginning for a New Chapter in Our Lives.. We Have Got To Believe!

I am 18/f/ and take 150mg nightly for five years. I have been trying to get off Traz for a while, tapering in smaller doses, until a few days ago I stopped taking it. The whole time I barely slept, but just when I started to begin sleeping on my own, I began having body aches... I could literally feel all the bones and muscles in my body move individually and could barely move without experiencing pain. I was so stiff it was awful. The second day off I was immobile, having random crying spells, and blacking out. I ran a fever off and on which peaked at about 103. Literally, it was the worse I have ever felt in my life. It was like that scene out of the Wolf of Wall Street. I had to crawl. To make matters worse I acted completely irrational and accused my boyfriend of poisoning me and began thinking he was plotting to kill me. To make a long story short. I tried to kill myself. The police became involved. I locked myself in the bathroom for 2 hours in fears of them taking me to the hospital. And spent another 2 hours arguing with my mom about how I did not want to go back to those hell of a mental health "hospitals". Since then, I recovered, but only because I'm taking Traz again. I CANT GET OFF IT. It's the devil, I swear.

Hypnosis is the easy way to break a subconscious association. People, go to a good hypnotist who can cure your insomnia and then taper the drugs.

I took trazodone for 2 months and stopped cold turkey not realizing that was not a good idea. I have now taken one dose and still having the panic attacks. How many doses does it take before these will go away?

I completely agree, they just hand these medications out like there some sort of magic cure. I believe they are seriously damaging. At present I am trying desperately to come off Trazadon, I am seriously going through hell right now. I have been taking trazadone for about two years and have spent six months trying to taper off slowly. I was originally taking 75 mg came down to 30mg was fine, side affects started gradually after this, difficult but bearable then 20mg, the lower the dose the more unbearable the side affects. I completely stopped my dosage ( I thought I couldn't have done it any slower) about a month ago. My extremely low moods have been unbearable and uncontrollable crying.

You're wrong.
I don't doubt that you have not experienced these symptoms because as you said, everyone is different. I had no symptoms before starting Trazadone. I took it simply to help me sleep. I was on 200mg for a year and my withdrawal symptoms are horrible.
My muscles tighten in my left arm and in the back of my neck. The ring finger on my left hand becomes purple and swollen and then I pass out. I've been to the emergency room several times. These symptoms go away within a few hours when I take a Trazadone.

Trazodone withdrawl is hell on earth. If cut the pill even slightly smaller (I am trying and failing to taper) then I become suicidal due to seeing no way out of what is happening .I'v quit some nasty stuff but this is up there with the worst. I have to quit because the marine core does not allow insomniacs... I honestly do not know if I can do it. The insomnia is the least of my concerns at this point.

Check with your doctor and see if you can take the nortriptyline at night. The side effect of sleepiness might guarantee a good night's rest.
