The use of most antidepressants is associated with a risk of seizures. Sleep Res, 20, 552–558. Patients with dehydration (e.g., due to severe diarrhea or vomiting) may be predisposed to hypotension and should also be managed carefully during therapy with trazodone. Phenylpiperazine antidepressants are not approved for use in pediatric patients.Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. There are no data available concerning the pharmacokinetic disposition of trazodone or its metabolites in patients with renal and/or liver disease. Your liver is a critical organ that is responsible for detoxifying your blood. Note: This document contains side effect information about sitagliptin. Alicia J. Roth, W. Vaughn M C Call, and Anthony Liguouri.

Applies to: Cardiovascular Disease, Hyperthyroidism, ArrhythmiasAlthough less cardiotoxic than the tricyclic antidepressants, trazodone may be arrhythmogenic in some patients with cardiac disease. Paroxetine, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, mirtazapine and venlafaxine are associated with reversible liver injury upon discontinuation of the agent. Heart failure has been observed with two other members of the DPP-4 inhibitor class; consider risks and benefits of sitagliptin in patients with risk factors for heart failure; monitor for signs and symptoms; if heart failure develops, manage accordingly to standard of care and consider interrupting treatment The metabolites, at least one of which is pharmacologically active, are excreted by the kidney. Due to the idiosyncratic nature of hepatotoxicity, monitoring of liver function tests and immediate discontinuation upon abnormal lab findings or signs and symptoms of liver dysfunction are crucial since most cases of hepatic damage are reversible when detected early. I take Januvia, Metformin ER, Lantus, and Humalog. Applies to: Bipolar Disorder, DepressionAdults, young adults and children patients with depression and other psychiatric disorders may experience worsening of their symptoms and may have the emergence of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Trazodone has not been studied in patients with renal impairment. Objectives: To explore why some clinicians hesitate to use metformin in patients with liver disease and whether routine monitoring of transaminases before and during metformin therapy is substantiated. Onset of antidepressant-associated hepatotoxicity varies from 5 days to 3 years.
Close monitoring of cardiovascular status, including ECG changes, is recommended at all dosages. Antidepressant-induced liver injury can occur in the absence of identifiable, underlying risk factors such as cirrhosis and hepatitis infection; only a few cases of hepatic injury involve patients with chronic hepatitis infection. Trazadone is an anti-depressant that is often prescribed to help with sleeping. It's also linked to an increased risk of liver cancer, heart disease and kidney disease.

Discontinuing the medication should be considered if symptoms are persistently worse, or abrupt in onset.
There have been only rare reports of convulsions, including grand mal seizures, following the administration of nefazodone or trazodone. Applies to: Hypotension, Dehydration, Ischemic Heart Disease, History - Myocardial Infarction, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cerebrovascular Insufficiency, History - Cerebrovascular DiseaseTrazodone has alpha-1 adrenergic blocking activity and may cause hypotension (including orthostatic hypotension) in approximately 5% of patients. 2 Phenothiazines in particular can cause increases in liver enzymes in 20% of patients. Trazodone (Desyrel, Oleptro) is an antidepressant drug belonging to a class of medications known as serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitors ( If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.

Cloe holds a Bachelor of Arts in biochemistry from Boston University, a M.D. (2018). The study is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 178 people who take Trazodone hydrochloride and Coumadin from the FDA, and is updated regularly. 2 2018 Jul;32(7):673-684. doi: 10.1007/s40263-018-0537-1.Carvajal García-Pando A, García del Pozo J, Sánchez AS, Velasco MA, Rueda de Castro AM, Lucena MI.J Clin Psychiatry. Trazodone is a generally safe medication, but it has several potential side effects that can be dangerous 1 2 3.
