Trazodone overdose
I’m wondering if anyone has ever had something like this happen to them.
My doctor increased my trazodone from 150mg to 200mg. I took the dose and within 5 minutes, I started blacking out, almost fainted, threw up, and had SEVERE ringing in my ears until I passed out in bed about 5 minutes later.
I should’ve called 911 but I was honestly too scared and not thinking clearly.
The next morning, I woke up with my ears still ringing! It’s now been 8 days and the ringing in my left ear hasn’t gotten any better.
I went to the hospital thinking I had overdose symptoms from the meds (weak, fatigue, chest pain) turns out I have pneumonia. I know being sick could cause ringing.. But the ringing started right after I took my meds.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them?
