So my husband is taking trazodone and has been for a few months. Lately he’s been having these really weird symptoms. His exact wording was “Insane sensitivity to light, feelings of passing out (but haven't actually), headaches, enhanced hearing, nausea.” Doctors are performing every test and scan known to mankind on him. I’m wondering if this could be something caused from the medication and if he gets off it, maybe it would go away? Does anyone here have similar experiences on this medicine? He did go up to a higher dose, I think it was a couple weeks ago as well.

I had these exact symptoms and they turned out to be panic attacks. The enhanced vision/hearing, and almost passing out but it never actually happened, were symptoms I found concerning when I had them. This is the first time I’ve heard of someone having the enhances senses besides me, which is interesting. They don’t seem to be common occurrences. Went to the ER a couple times because of it (felt like I was dying, would come on in waves out of nowhere), did every test possible, found nothing wrong. It was so angering having people suggest it was a “bug” when I knew it was definitely something else. Not saying they are that, it could be a separate physical issue, but if nothing can be found, they may be panic attacks. Different from anxiety attacks.
When I was taking it it was enhancing my anxiety, which may or may not be the problem. If they find nothing physically wrong you might want to consider changing medications. I know it sucks but it'll probably be better in the long run.

I ask because trazodone can cause dysautonomia (many have worse symptoms upright). The symptoms fit whether or not he prefers one way, so I would definitely ask the drs about it!

@spookyspoonie @cece7 this was suppsoed to be a reply in the earlier threat. Oops 😬
I deal with the same sensitivity. the only thing that really works for me is absolute darkness
Does it get worse when he is standing or walking, or get any better when he lays down for a while?
@spookyspoonie it sounds like it can be either way. I don’t think he has a way that feels better than another
