snorting trazodone?

[laetoile]

just wondering if anybody's tried it.... i've heard from a few people that it'll fuck you up. i occasionally use trazodone (orally) as a sleeping aid but am interested in trying this.... anybody?

[blahblahblah]

Uh... Why on earth would you do that, its not going to fuck you up. Occasionally I will take it sublingually if I cant wait the 15-45 minutes for it to kick in, I find sublingual dosing works a tad bit quicker if you can handle the numbing gross taste.

Dont snort trazadone.[period]

[laetoile]

that's what i said when i first heard about it, i was just wondering if anybody had ever done it...

[nenarOPI]

oh god. what a sick idea. trazodone is trash for its INTENDED purposes, and has little (if any!) recreational value. not to mention they taste like Death, even when they bump the back of my throat when I take them orally, I can't imagine what the drip would taste like.

Plus snorting pills is stupid

[K'dOUTinAZ]

Antidepressants don't have any recreational value so why would you think that insufflating an antidepressant would produce any sort of recreational value? Oh the ignorance...

Nah, it's just a matter of preference. Snorting trazodone and most other pills is pointless and stupid, but there's nothing wrong with snorting oxycontin pills, roxicodone, hydromorphone, MSIR, ecstasy pills, etc.

[Kerrigan]

It'd certainly fuck you up! :)

A nasty taste in your throat, a burning sensation in your nose, and the effects of trazodone. Sounds better than smack. 8(

Last time I checked trazodone was a sleep aid, not an antidepressant.

[blahblahblah]

check again...

8) Heres some advice: Don't post anything unless you know what the fuck you are talking about and let the people, who know what they are talking about, give the advice.

DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) is an antidepressant chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, or other known antidepressant agents. Trazodone hydrochloride is a triazolopyridine derivative

Desyrel etc. (Trazodone)
Desyrel etc. (Trazodone) is an antidepressant medication which is chemically unrelated to the serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s), tricyclics (TCA’s) or the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO inhibitors). Approved by the U.S. FDA in 1982, Trazodone is chemically related to Serzone (Nefazodone) and shares its actions. Unlike the TCA’s, which can be toxic in overdose however, Trazodone was the first antidepressant developed that was not lethal when overdosed.

Trazodone appears to work by increasing levels of serotonin, one of the neurotransmitter chemicals that carry messages between brain nerve cells. Neurotransmitters are secreted by one cell and picked up by receptor proteins on the surface of another cell. Once the message has been delivered, a neurotransmitter is either destroyed or absorbed into the cell that made it. This process is known as re-uptake. When re-uptake is inhibited, the effect of the neurotransmitter is amplified. Neurotransmitters like serotonin are involved in the regulation of pain, pleasure, anxiety, panic, arousal, and sleep behavior (the sleep-wake cycle). As Trazodone has strong sedating properties it is often used in a single nighttime dose as a sleep aid.

Yes, of course Trazodone has sedative effects, the very reason why it should be taken at night. But the argument here, if you have even been paying attention, is that Trazodone is an antidepressant. Nobody is arguing the fact that Trazodone has sedative effects and is very commonly used as a sleep aid. There is no need to provide a source for something that everybody knows already. 8(

[fizzacyst]

The usual routine is to prescribe trazodone mostly to people who both need an antidepressant and have problems getting to sleep. Otherwise they'd probably give you something more modern (SSRI, SNRI, etc) unless there was a reason not to.

Its definately prescribed as an antidepressant more than as a sleep aid. There is no doubt that it will make you drowsy, but there are much better sleep aids out there.

Ya but the original poster thought that it will fuck you up. We'll for me sedative means just that. That it will sedate me. I'm not saying that it isn't an anti-depressant. Not that its a kickass drug but I think it can do something.

[laetoile]

thanks to everyone for the info.

but.... please, may i clarify? it was just mentioned in passing to me by someone who had done it..... i was curious. that does not make me fucking ignorant, so fuck off. i'm really sorry i asked. i assumed this was an open-minded forum.

f.y.i., trazodone is prescribed as a sleep aid (although it is an antidepressant). i personally have been prescribed to it before (using it as such).

thanks again for the help.

[armadilliO]

Tried some of that crap in the US (chewed)

Pretty yucky, and did bugger all.

I ran out of benzo's the 2nd day there... the 20hr of flying time home was HELL!!!

Planes are very VERY uncomfortable (yay economy class!) when you aren't floating 2miles above the plane on a benzo cloud :'(

(The way there was awesome. Got loaded in the airport lounge... dropped some temaz, serapax and some stilnox and floated all the way to Los Angeles)

[armadilliO]

Oh then I had ~300mg of codeine after I woke up, so was enjoying myself going through LA security (what fun).

The whole time I was just talking to myself about how much of a facade this new security crap is... fun fun fun...

Then i was stuck in a po-dunk little upstate new york town with SWEET FUCK ALL substances. My uncle said there was a crack house nearby... but I wasn't overly keen on rocking up and asking what I could be hooked up with :P

"hey"
"what the fuck do you want motherfucker"
"uhh drugs"
"what the fuck are you on about, crazy fucker, i dont know you"
"uhh im new here. im from australia"
"bullSHIT! DIE MOTHERFUCKIN NARC!!"

Just because a drug produces sedation does not mean that it is a recreational drug. Trazodone, Mirtazapine, and Amitriptyline are all examples of non-recreational antidepressants that can produce sedation. Hydroxyzine is a sedative antihistamine without any recreational effects.

[Glory Hole]

Are you telling me that there are different types of sedation? Because the sedation I'm thinking of is like a relaxing and drowsy feeling.

[K'dOUTinAZ]

The feeling of sedation most commonly features drowsiness, lethargy, fatigue, somnolence and also can be dysphoric. However, the sedation from certain drugs like the opioids, barbiturates, and to a certain degree the benzodiazepines, also produces euphoria and a sense of well being. So I wouldn't say that there are two different types of sedation but different degrees of sedation. Sedation produced from certain drugs can be rather dysphoric while the sedation from another drug may be euphoric.

Here are some definitions of sedation:

-The use of medication to calm down a patient.
-a relaxed, easy state.
-Medication given to reduce awareness.
-The administration of a sedative. A sedative is a medication with tranquillising properties which can also promote sleep.
-The process of making a person sleepy or calmed – often by artificial means such as drugs.

Some drugs can produce a rather unpleasant or dysphoric sedation and some drugs produce a euphoric sedation.

[Glory Hole]

Ok that makes total sense. I guess if a drug is sedating then it doesn't necessarily mean that its euphoric. If a drug is a sedative then it might mean that it is euphoric or it can be dysphoric. :)

Actually there is something wrong with snorting OC's and morphines. Its just not as bad as most other pillls. The way you word it makes it seem harmless, which is FAR from the truth. Sure, snort a few here and there rarely. But snorting them all the time. You're fucked.

[P58]

As far as the recreational value of trazodone goes: I have noticed that trazodone has induced some incredibly lucid dreams, even on a low dosage. And though taking a drug and falling asleep might not be considered "recreational", I have taken trazodone for this very reason....because lucid dreaming is utterly enjoyable:)

[yimmy12]

I have the same crazy dreams myself. Sorry to K'dOUTinAZ, I wasn't trying to be a smartass. I was little fucked up at the time of that last post. I admire your knowledge and opinions very much.

Right. All I meant is that it's not "stupid" to snort opiates pills that don't contain APAP.

[xymox]

Hahaha, this is such a great post. I once saw someone at a party rail a traz after a night of binging on the llell. Apparently everyone else had xanax and he thought it would do the same trick. Needless to say, he was practically digging/clawing through his nostrils trying to clear the sludge out because of the apparent burning sensation he was experiencing. So, if by chance you do try it, make sure you have a camcorder near by to document the torment.

[steel2111]

i get an ok nod off 90mgs oxy and i've only tried hydro a few times last was 28mg, 10 orally rest snorted and i was barely feeling it just like the prior attempts.. i think it's useless unless iv'd.

I was Rxed it when I complained of not being able to sleep...

[Temeraroius]

check again...

You sir, are incorrect. It does a lot of stuff, anti depressant, sleep aid, anxiolytic, dont just throw off all anti depressants as non recreational just because SSRIs are.

EDIT: my bad, thread revival, did a search and forgot it was old...

[jspumoni]

Don't do it, your nose will be all fucked up for days. It burns and drips like fuck.I would never do that again.

[Shovelist]

Took a trazodone about 15 min ago along with the Alaprazolam taken earlier.

I want to see how sedated I get, since my ex has it prescribed as a sleep aid.

The doctor said to take up to two of them if she can't sleep. That is 100mg.

I will report back.. I wonder how long the sedative will last since I have work in 12 hours.

[Shovelist]

Its been a half an hour and Im a bit more dizzy.. but not as sedated as I could be. Next time, if needed I will try taking 100mg of Trazodone instead of 50mg.

And for those wondering my dosing today of Alprazolam was 4mg, but taken with a very large meal.. which only weakens the effects for me, unless its a very small meal before eating the pills.

I ate 1mg around 9:00pm then and then another 3mg of bars broken in the pieces.

Since its been taking me a little bit to type this and im rambling Im probably more sedated by the Trazodone than I think. I even put on Edward Scizzor Hands, the movie.

Glad I hae ephedrine for the morning. If I feel any nicer I will report otherwise.. its smoke a bowl, a cig and pass out.

[sorry this has nothing to do with snorting trazodone. I should have created a thread for my "experiment".]

[Shovelist]

I am sill awake and I am now going to Denny's for food.

I think this was the first time ever taking trazodone without alcohol.

[redmand headband]

^^is it a good combo? (trad and alchohol)^^

i recently got ahold of some tradozone 100mg and have been taking halfs at a time, besides once when i snorted it. ive notices it really calms me. but it does have a very sedating effect at first and ill want to go to sleep but after that i just chill and enjoy it.


dudes its perscibed as an anti depressant and a sleep aid.....
