any of the following medications cause a stroke: Trazdone 100 mg daily,Exalgo ER 16 mg daily,Dilaudid 8 MG daily,Diazepam 10 mg up to 4 dailyCarvedilol 3.125 mg 2 pills daily,Venlafaxine HCLER 150mg 2 pills aday?
Trazodone 200 daily possibly increases the serotonin release from platelets by its antagonistic and reuptake inhibitor effect at serotonin receptor, which may cause vasoconstriction. Trazodone has an effect on vascular and coagulation system like that of SSRIs, which may implicate that trazodone is associated with cerebrovascular accidents. Case emphasizes that when vasoconstriction is suspected, serotonergic drugs should be discontinued.
Trazodone is a tetracyclic antidepressant commonly prescribed for insomnia. We report the emergence of neurologic symptoms suggestive of transient ischemic attack (TIA) in a patient following the initiation of trazodone. To the best of our knowledge, no reports of such an occurrence have been published. Your doctor will tell you more.
