Podcasts about Trazodone

Dr. Casey Grover breaks down psychiatric medications and their role in addiction treatment, explaining how different medications work, when they're most appropriate, and which ones to avoid. He provides a practical overview based on his extensive experience treating patients with substance use disorders.• Psychiatric medications get developed through research on brain receptors and undergo rigorous testing before FDA approval• Medications often have "off-label" uses that weren't originally intended but provide benefits in certain situations• Antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs serve as the foundation for treating depression in people with addiction• Using non-addictive options like hydroxyzine, clonidine, and buspirone is crucial when treating anxiety in recovery• Trazodone and mirtazapine are preferred for sleep issues over benzodiazepines and "Z-drugs" that can create dependence• ADHD treatment requires careful consideration when patients have stimulant use disorder histories• Benzodiazepines should be avoided when possible as they paradoxically worsen anxiety over time• Medication selection should consider urgency of conditions, past medication responses, and potential side effects• Some psychiatric conditions may improve with therapy allowing medication reduction, while others require long-term treatmentThank you for taking the time to learn about addiction. It's a fight we cannot win without awareness and action. There's still so much we can do to improve how addiction is treated. Together we can make it happen. Remember, treating addiction saves lives.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

My client Maura came to me when she was struggling to fall asleep and would go days without sleeping if she wasn't taking a sleeping pill. She was taking Trazodone and Lexapro to sleep and feel calm. She was a mom to 2 young children and she had to take a leave from teaching because she wasn't sleeping. Her goal was to sleep 7 hours a night, get off meds, and not feel anxious about sleep. By the end of our time working together, she achieved all of these goals! "In 2 months I weaned off Trazodone. On average I'm sleeping 7-8 hours a night and feeling a lot better.”Her test results showed:Depleted sex hormonesLiver dysfunctionMold toxicity (from the school where she worked!)Mineral imbalancesH. pyloriDysbiosis (imbalance of good to bad gut bacteria)Gluten sensitivity All of these imbalances were affecting her sleep!I recommended supplements and diet changes which she immediately embraced. We also worked on stress about sleep and so her anxiety about sleep improved pretty quickly. She even slept well when she traveled to Ireland. She emailed me after her trip: “I returned from my trip to Ireland yesterday. I was so nervous about sleeping in various hotels in a different time zone. I did great and slept really well. Each night I slept between 7-8 hours. My anxiety about sleep is so much better."Maura was 100% committed to the process and because of that, she had great success!“I loved having a plan, knowing we're going to work together, slowly add supplements, then slowly take them away. I appreciated having support and being able to email you. Having someone in my court. I wasn't in this alone. And it doesn't take the whole time (6 months)."By the end of our time working together, Maura was back to work teaching when the school year started!You can listen to her story on the podcast.Maura loved the step-by-step, simple plan I gave her in the Complete Sleep Solution program because then she knew exactly what to do to get better.She was relieved that all she had to do was follow her protocol, without questioning if it was right for her.She stopped googling about how to sleep better and trying random supplements and gadgets because she had a plan customized for her life and body. If Maura can get better, you can, too! Schedule a free consultation on Zoom to get started so you can consistently sleep 7+ hours a night without drugs!I'll tell you exactly why everything you've tried so far hasn't worked (even though you're doing everything you can to sleep well) and how the Complete Sleep Solution program will find and fix all the root causes of your sleep and health issues once and for all. 00:00 Introduction: Overcoming Sleep Issues Without Drugs00:15 Meet Maura: A Journey to Better Sleep00:40 Understanding the Root Causes of Sleep Problems01:27 Personal Anecdote: The Importance of Good Sleep04:21 Maura's Struggles and Goals05:04 Identifying and Addressing Health Imbalances06:53 Overcoming Anxiety and Traveling Success07:46 Maura's Success and Return to Normalcy09:17 The Complete Sleep Solution Program09:42 Conclusion: How You Can Achieve Better Sleep

 You're at the end of your rope, so you head to the pharmacy for the help you so desperately need to sleep. But wait, you aren't sure if it's safe, if it works, and if there's a better way.  Stay tuned to learn about the benefits, side effects, and risk of sleep aids.   I'm Dr.Vickie Petz Kasper. If you're ready to take control of your health, you're in the right  place. I'll give you practical steps to start your own journey toward better health because healthy looks great on you.  This is episode 159, Sleeping Pills and Potions. What works and what doesn't. You know that poor sleep is associated with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, immune dysfunction, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, fatigue, irritability, and good grief, I could go on and on. So, taking something to help you sleep sounds like a good idea, right?  Today, we'll discuss what you need to know before you go and get a prescription, supplement, or over the counter sleeping aid. Look, we have to sleep. Our very lives and health depend on it. But the struggle is real. Insomnia is one of the most common symptoms people go to the doctor or health care provider for treatment.   And what if I told you that good sleep is possible without medications? Well, it is. In fact, the first line treatment recommended to treat insomnia is not medication. The standard recommendation for managing insomnia is to eliminate things that go bump in the night and keep you awake.  Or, to treat underlying diseases that disrupt sleep. It's not recommended to start with behavioral therapy or medications until these other things are maximized. Ha! But good luck with that. If you go to your primary care provider and you don't get a prescription, I'll buy you a cup of coffee and we can both stay awake.  And, if you think you need to see a specialist, then you'll probably get to spend the night in a sleep lab hotel hooked up to a bunch of wires and you may get answers, like, a CPAP, and that's important if you have sleep apnea, but if not, you might not even hear from them. No wonder you're looking for a good solution to sleep.  And though medications are not the first line recommendation, that is the topic of today's episode. So let's get to it. We're going to start with prescription medications, then we'll talk about over the counter medications and wrap up with supplements.  There are three classes of drugs approved to treat insomnia. Benzodiazepine receptor agonist, histamine receptor antagonist, and melatonin receptor agonist. Listening to all that medical jargon may be sufficient to put you to sleep. But wait, let me explain. You'll understand more after we go to mini medical school today and learn about receptors.  These are made up of proteins and they receive chemical signals that produce a response.  Let me give you this analogy. You've got a lamp sitting on an end table, but it's not plugged in, so there's no light. And when you stick those two prongs into the socket, behold, now you can sit and read. And that's kind of how a receptor works. The plug fits into the plug in. So an agonist is like the plug. It fits. It turns it on. It lets the electricity flow.  But, if you had a toddler in the house, you might want to plug in one of those little plastic things so he doesn't stick a butter knife in there and get shocked. So that would be an antagonist.  Okay, now wake up and pay attention. We've got three classes of drugs to look at. Benzo receptor agonist and melatonin agonist. That plug in and histamine receptor antagonist that block the plugin. And then there's another category called other. We'll just call that the clapper, you know, clap, clap. And the light comes on, clap, clap, and the light goes off.  There are eight drugs in the benzodiazepine receptor agonist family. And the first five are about my age, you know, born in the 60s. They are Estazolam, which is Prosom, Florazepam, which is Dalmane, Quamazepam, which is Doral, Temazepam, which is Restoril and Triazolam, which is Halcion. Now the millennials aren't benzos, but they're still benzo receptor agonist. And you know, this generation got way more complicated spelling their kids' names, so I'm probably gonna have to sound them out like a first grade teacher on the first day of school.  Eszopiclone is Lunesta, Zaleplon is Sonata. Zolpidem is Ambien.  Those older drugs are crankier and cause more dependence although Restoril is the nicest in the category. There are other benzos which are technically prescribed for anxiety and  some people do use them to help them sleep. Do they work? Here's what the data says for the old guys. They help you fall asleep faster. A whole whopping 10 minutes faster. And they increase total sleep time by half an hour to an hour. That's it.  What about risk? Well, they make you sleepy, which is kind of the point, but also they can make you dizzy, which can make you fall if you get up and go to the bathroom during the night. And if you mix them with opioids, the reaction can be fatal.   Now, the younger guys function about as well as the older ones, but they have shorter half lives, so their effects don't wear out their welcome so much with daytime grogginess. And they aren't so deadly when socializing with opioids. But rarely, they do some bizarre things like compel you to shop or gamble in the middle of the night. All for 10 minutes faster to go to sleep and half hour to an hour longer sleeping.  Okay, clap on, clap off, let's talk about the other drugs.  These are dual orexin receptor antagonists.  Affectionately known as D O R A or Dora.  The first one is Suvarexant, which is called Belsomra. The next one is Derodorexant, which sounds a lot like deodorant to me, and that's exactly what I'm gonna call it because the brand name is Quviviq. And finally, there is Limboxerant, which has a really cool brand name, Dayvigo.  What? You've never heard of any of these? Well, that's probably because they're slightly less effective than the other drugs. They help you go to sleep seven minutes faster. But the main side effect is sleepiness, and people generally say they slept better. The next topic in pharmacology class in mini medical school is the histamine antagonist. You know, the little plastic thing that goes in the wall socket so your toddler doesn't.  Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant that functions this way, and even in low doses it causes the desirable effect of drowsiness. So, it's approved for the treatment of drowsiness deficit.  Unfortunately, there are some drugs it doesn't play nice with. But, it does increase sleep time by Drum roll please! 25 to 30 minutes. Womp, womp, womp. And, it helps people stay asleep toward the end of the sleep cycle.    And I think this underscores why one size does not fit all and prescriptions should be customized for individual needs.  The last class of drugs approved for the treatment of insomnia makes a lot of sense.  Ramelteon is a melatonin receptor agonist and the brand name Rosarem, get it? REM, R E M, as in rapid eye movement sleep. It's got a good mechanism of action, a good name. Problem is, it doesn't work any better than placebo. So, you can skip the potential for fatigue, nausea, and worsening of liver disease and just take a sugar pill.  So, am I saying it doesn't work at all? Of course not. Why would it be approved if it didn't work? Well, it's not in Europe, but it does work to lengthen sleep time by a grand total of seven minutes. And I don't know about you, but it's going to take more than seven minutes to get rid of the bags under these eyes.  So that's the gamut of drugs approved for the treatment of insomnia in the United States. But wait, there's more. Just because the FDA doesn't approve something for a particular indication, that doesn't mean that doctors can't prescribe it. And sometimes, off label prescribing is a really good thing, though it's a set up for a knock down, drag out fight with your insurance company for coverage. In addition to using the antidepressant Doxepin, many doctors prescribe other antidepressants for sleep. Things like Amitriptyline and Trazodone, even though the American Academy of Sleep Medicine advises against it because of side effects and no data showing that it works. Now, I always recommend that you consult with your health care provider regarding your medications. Always, always, always.  But, I also recommend that they consult with up to date society recommendations and guidelines. That's just fair. And while they're at it, they should look at the potential adverse reactions. So, now maybe you've decided to skip the copay and just help yourself to the sleep aid aisle of the pharmacy. You could even ask the pharmacist to guide you, and I recommend that. There are two over the counter medications approved to treat insomnia. They are diphenhydramine, commonly known as Benadryl, and doxalamine, commonly known as Unisom. Side note, over the counter medications are regulated  FDA, And both of these drugs are histamine blockers. Therefore, all of the fun side effects that come with that, like dry mouth, GI distress, dizziness, trouble emptying your bladder, and of course, sedation, which is the desired side effect. These medications are often combined with things like Advil or Tylenol with an added P. M. at the end, so you know what's in store for you. And here's what's in store for diphenhydramine. 8 less minutes to fall asleep and 12 more minutes of sleep. And for doxylamine, there's no data available. That's it. That's what we've got. So, maybe now you've decided just to take matters into your own hands and look for a supplement. And because you've listened to my previous podcast episode about dementia, you're gonna skip right over the Prevagen, right? Promise me. Now, in the supplement section, you're going to walk in understanding that claims, concentrations, and ingredients are not guaranteed. They're not regulated. They are, generally speaking, considered safe and ineffective. You heard that right. Safe. And ineffective. But what about melatonin? You swear it works, but does it?  Maybe. It is sedating in about 10 percent of people and in everyone else, it shifts the sleep phase. So, there is a place for that such as jet lag, and I have an episode on jet lag in the show notes.  But even though it may help you drift off to sleep, it probably isn't going to help you stay asleep. The half life is less than an hour, and in some people it causes stomach cramps, irritability, and even depression. It's best used in combination with other things that regulate your circadian rhythm. More to come on that. But a big one is light. And so this probably would be a great time to tell you about some exciting news I have for you. I have an upcoming series of live webinars to talk about six hidden things that keep you tossing and turning at night.   And soon you'll have access to an online course called Unlock the Secret to Sleep, your personal sleep solution. I have been working so hard on this for so long that I cannot wait to share it with you.  I want to help you reset your sleep and get your Z's. Now there are other supplements labeled as sleep aids and most of them again are safe and probably not effective. The exceptions on safety are kava and valerian root. Both of those have been associated with liver damage. Now it's rare, but it's very serious. Other things you might find on this aisle are chamomile, Glycine, Gryphonia, Hops,  , Kava, L theanine, Lavender, , Passionflower, Nightshade, Skullcap, Strymonium, Tryptophan, , and Wild Jujube Seeds.  They're all equally effective and work every bit as well as a sugar pill, but hey, sugar pills can have powerful placebo effects. And one last thing I want to mention, and that is cannabis. Bottom line is there's not enough research to say one way or another, whether it works. It does have the potential for addiction and it's not legal everywhere. So there's that.  But also it's a problem that if you quit, you'll likely experience sleep disturbances that can last for several months.     The bottom line is, I want you to know that you shouldn't have to choose between serious health consequences of poor sleep and the side effects and risk of sleeping pills and potions.  If you suffer from insomnia, I do encourage you not to stop any medications without medical supervision and to have an honest conversation with your doctor. And if they want access to my resources, just give them my email address. I'm happy to share and they're 100 percent legit, but if good sleep eludes you, I want you to know while there's no magic pill for perfect sleep, there is a proven path to natural, restorative rest that can transform your life.

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that is often used in pediatrics. Hyperglycemia, insomnia, and GI upset are relatively common adverse effects. Ibuprofen is a commonly used OTC pain reliever. It is classified as an NSAID and can increase GI bleed risk and exacerbate heart failure. Aceon is the brand name for perindopril. ACE inhibitors are well known to cause drug induced cough and will cause hyperkalemia. Trazodone is classified as an antidepressant but is frequently used to treat insomnia because of its sedative properties. Pioglitazone is an oral anti-diabetes medication that should be avoided in patients with heart failure.

 Do you want to be proactive about your health, or do you just shrug your shoulders and figure you play the cards you're dealt? And the big question is, what difference does it make? Today we're going to look at 10 things that contribute to the development of dementia and what, if anything, you can do about it.  I'm Dr.Vickie Petz Kasper. I practiced obstetrics and gynecology for 20 years until I landed on the other side of the sheets   as a very sick patient. When my own body betrayed me, I took a handful of pills to manage my disease and another handful to counteract the side effects. My health was out of control. Through surgery, medications, and lots of prayers, I  regained my strength only to face another  diagnosis.  My doctor challenged me to make radical changes through lifestyle medicine. Now I feel great and I want to help you make changes that make a difference. Healthy Looks Great On You podcast takes you to mini medical school so you can learn the power of lifestyle medicine. If you're ready to take control of your health, you're in the right  place. Whether you're focused on prevention or you're trying to manage a condition. I'll give you practical steps to start your own journey toward better health because healthy looks great on you.   This is episode 155, Ten Must Know Risk Factors for Dementia.  Which ones can you alter, and which ones you just gotta accept. Here's the deal, dementia isn't just one condition with one cause, it's more like a puzzle with pieces that fit together differently for each person. And some of these pieces are fixed, but others, well, they're more like clay that you can reshape. And that's exactly what we're going to dive into today.   What if I told you that some of the choices you're making right now, today, could be tilting the scales either for or against your brain health. It's never too early or too late to make changes that affect your overall health, and that includes your brain health. So, whether you're in your 30s or in your 60s, stick around.  We're about to break down these 10 risk factors for dementia and what you can do about it. Number one on the list is age. Yeah, I know, there's not a thing in the world you can do about it. This is one you have to accept. And if you're a woman, aged 45, your chances of developing dementia during your lifetime are 1 in 5. If you're a man, it's one in 10. And even though I didn't include biologic sex in this list, clearly women are at increased risk, but there may be reasons for that that you can alter. Bottom line is age is the biggest risk factor for dementia and the older you get, the greater the risk. In fact, the chances double every five years after age 65.  To quote Andy Rooney, it's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone. But the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone. And that's generally true and with good reason. I mean, it's not called over the hill for nothing.  They say you should grow old gracefully. Ha! There's nothing graceful about some of the tolls the years take. And according to George Burns, you know you're getting old when you stoop over to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else could you do while you're down there.  George Burns, remember him? He lived to be 100 years old and was pretty healthy. We're gonna come back to that, so be sure you listen until the end. But age is just one risk factor you have to accept.  But while you're practicing acceptance, here's another one you can't control. Family history.   If someone in your family had dementia, then you are at increased risk. And if more than one somebody in your family had dementia, you're at even more risk. And you know what they say, you can't change the past, but you can change the future. You can start where you are and change the ending. And I want you to remember that quote as we talk through this, because even if you have a strong family history of dementia, your fate is not sealed, but it is at risk. So, think about your family history. You tend to inherit your lifestyle from your family. Okay, not always, but a lot of our habits are ingrained at an early age. We sort of eat the same things and live in similar environments.  Education levels and socioeconomic advantages or disadvantages are often generational, and those things are passed down, but they're not inherited like our genetic code. So I want to challenge you to start where you are and see if there's anything you can do to change the ending.     Number three is similar to family, but not exactly the same. Genetics. Pop quiz, true or false, you can alter your genes.  I want you to stay tuned next week because we are going to talk more about the genetics of Alzheimer's.  The best way to not miss an episode is to subscribe to my newsletter.

So why don't you just push pause right now on the podcast and do it before you get busy or forget. Each week on the podcast, I take you to mini medical school And this week, we're going to take a closer look at our  DNA. Don't worry. It's a short course and it's never boring. Do not argue with me. Science is fun if you do it right.  DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. See if you can say that three times really fast. Deoxyribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid. Now you'll remember it, even if I did annoy you a little bit. I won't say it again. I'll just use the nickname, DNA. So what is it? It's like a double stranded helix, and I'm sure you've seen pictures before. Looks like a twisted ladder. It's a molecule made up of four nucleotides, C G A T. That's cytosine, guanine, adenosine, and thymine, and these little dudes are held together by hydrogen bonds in different combinations. And here's the exciting part. Every cell in your body follows the code that is written into your DNA. It's like an instruction manual. And each person's DNA is unique. That is why human life is so sacred. Because this coding determines your eye color. your hair color, facial features, and ultimate height, as well as whether or not you're born a boy or a girl.  And here's the deal, it's all determined at the moment of conception. When the egg is fertilized, wow, we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made. Now, inside of each cell, there's this little part called the nucleus, and that's where most of the chromosome forming DNA lives.  And all of this is foundational to understand genetics but not only does your genetic code determine aspects of your health. But your environment, behavior, and lifestyle can impact genetic expression. Meaning genes can be turned off, turned on, regulated up, regulated down, and we call that epigenetics. It can even happen in the womb before you're born. So you really are what you eat, how you act, and what you do. DNA can also be damaged, so gene expression is affected by age, exposures, environment, and other factors that we're going to look at.  But since I mentioned environmental and exposure, let's move on to number four on the list of risk factors for dementia, and that is air pollution. I bet that surprised you. Turns out that pollution causes damage to the nervous system. Things like exhaust from cars in the city or wood burning in the country. And you want to know what else pollutes the air? cigarette smoke. Smoking is a risk factor for dementia as well as a host of other conditions. Your mind may go straight to cancer, but it also increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even macular degeneration, which can lead to blindness.  And it turns out that number five on the list is uncorrected hearing loss.  and uncorrected vision loss. Remember when I snorted about growing old gracefully? Well, yeah, I'm over here putting in my hearing aids and groping around for my glasses and I don't think any of that is graceful,  but I do it anyway. Now I can't see without my glasses, so they're not optional, But,  uncorrected vision loss does increase the risk of dementia, and the worse the uncorrected vision loss, the worse the risk.   But again, this only applies to people with uncorrected vision loss, and I think most of us wouldn't skip wearing our glasses or contacts, But, I do see a lot of people skip on wearing hearing aids. Now, my husband would argue with this, but I can hear pretty well.  He just talks really soft.  And isn't that what everyone with hearing loss says?  Quit mumbling!  The deal is most people can get by with some hearing impairment. But it does increase the risk of dementia.  Why is that? Well, maybe because you're not processing spoken words and that part of your brain isn't getting used and it shrinks along with everything around it. Or maybe your brain is actually devoting all of its energy to try and understand those mumblers. And it neglects keeping the rest of the brain humming along at full speed.  Experts don't really know exactly why hearing loss is associated with dementia, but it's felt to be responsible for 8 percent of cases. So get over it. Go to the audiologist fork over the cash and get your hearing aids. Your brain's worth it.  Another theory about the impact of hearing loss is interference with social activity. I mean, if you can't hear, you can't participate in conversations or play games or just connect as well. And that leads us to number six, social isolation. We're created to be connected. Isolation is associated with an increased risk of dementia as well as a whole lot of other health conditions. When I say we need each other, I mean we need each other, but I want to make a point. I've talked about the impact of loneliness on this podcast before, and I'll link those episodes in the show notes. It contributes to high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, anxiety, depression, increased inflammation in the body, and alterations in the immune system. But listen, loneliness and social isolation are not the same.  You can live alone. and not be lonely. And you can be surrounded by people and feel loneliness. It is connection that matters. So phone a friend, text a friend, or even send an email. Even simple things like that matter and they'll appreciate it. According to the National Institute on Aging, one in four people over 65 experience social isolation. Now, I picture someone sitting home alone watching TV. Social isolation decreases the opportunity for engaging activities like playing cards. And it decreases the likelihood of staying fit. Think about how many pieces of home exercise equipment serve as just a place to hang your clothes. Going to the gym is a way to get the body fit and connect socially. People who are socially connected typically smoke and drink less. And of course, that depends on who you hang out with, but clearly, people who are trying to quit benefit from community. We all do. And speaking of quitting, many people observe dry January, and it's a great idea because number seven is alcohol. Drinking alcohol does not increase your risk of Alzheimer's,  but it may worsen it.  But hold your beer. You might remember that Alzheimer's is a type of dementia, but not all dementia is Alzheimer's.  There are several other types of dementia and one uniquely occurs in people who consume heavier amounts of alcohol. It's even called alcohol related brain damage.  Here's what happens. Alcohol causes a loss of white matter. This is where the action happens. Neurons send signals to different parts of the brain and with heavy alcohol use the brain actually shrinks, and with less volume, there's less function.  Alcohol can cause atrophy of the cells, and inhibit the growth of new neurons via a process that we call neurogenesis. Alcohol ages the brain faster and contributes to other diseases that are associated with Alzheimer's dementia and other forms of dementia as well. These conditions are things like high blood pressure and heart disease.   But wait! I thought drinking red wine prevents dementia. And this is a hot topic of research and debate. I mean, when you look at the Mediterranean diet and all those blue zones, most of them are in areas where grapes are grown. And when the fruit of the vine is ripe, well, you know. So the debate continues. And whenever there's controversy, it helps a bit to understand statistics. There's something called a J curve, and the theory was that teetotalers had a slightly increased risk of things like heart disease and brain disease, which, by the way, go together. Then, it decreased with a glass or two of red wine a day, and then the swoop up in the letter J indicated an increased risk with heavy drinking. However, whether or not there's any benefit to consuming red wine is now being challenged. And many experts assert that there is no safe level of drinking.  And if you've ever met my mother, you know she agrees wholeheartedly.  But here's the deal. There is no question that excessive drinking increases the risk of,  you name it. And it's especially harmful in midlife. Besides that, it increases your risk of everything I'm going to mention for number eight on the list, which is head injury.  And it's more common than you might realize. Over 23 million adults over the age of 40 have had at least their bell rung. That's slang for a concussion. It can be from falling, car wrecks, or sports injuries. And the more times your brain gets conked, the greater the risk. That's what we call dose dependent. Preventable? Often. Wear a helmet if you're riding a bicycle, snowmobile, motorcycle, or snowboarding or skiing.  And always, always, always wear your seatbelt. But here's where the rubber meets the road.   And that's number nine, certain chronic medical conditions. And here's the deal. Anything that affects your blood vessels affects your heart and brain. So, things like high blood pressure and diabetes, which damage blood vessels, they aren't good for the old ticker and they aren't good for the noggin either.  Okay, I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some good news.  You too, huh?  Well, how about this? Everything that keeps your blood vessels healthy is affected by lifestyle. If you didn't know that was coming, I'd like to welcome you to your first episode of the Healthy Looks Great On You podcast. But seriously, not smoking, limiting alcohol use, maintaining physical fitness, social connectedness, managing stress and things like depression, as well as eating whole foods.  That's your best weapon to prevent dementia, protect your heart and maximize your overall health.  Now if you already have one of these conditions, hear me.  Sometimes, it's not necessarily too late. Remember You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. now, let me give you this caveat. Sometimes, it is too late, and conditions are not reversible, and that's often the case. So, prevention is super important.  And also, it's felt that 40 percent of dementia cases can be prevented. That leaves 60 percent that cannot.  Diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity can be prevented, treated, and sometimes even reversed with lifestyle changes.  I won't go into each one now, but there are lots of episodes that address these six pillars of lifestyle medicine, as well as specific recommendations for each of these conditions. Just head over to my website, www. healthylooksgreatonyou.  com, and browse for them. Included is an episode on preventing cognitive decline, and I'll link this one in the show notes.  But, before we say goodbye Let's say goodnight, because number 10 on the list is sleep.  The first question is, does poor sleep increase the risk of dementia or does dementia interfere with good quality sleep? And the answer is yes, both are true.  On top of that, people have more difficulty sleeping as they age. And here's another conundrum. Do prescription medications for sleep increase the risk of dementia? I mean, if poor sleep is a risk factor, shouldn't we just head to the pharmacy and pick up a bottle of sleeping pills? Well, a recent study showed that certain sleeping medications increase the risk of dementia in white people to the tune of 79%.  Now, that's in people who either often or almost regularly took sleeping medications compared to people who rarely or never took sleeping pills.  And by the way, white people use way more medications for chronic insomnia. Medications like Xanax and Valium. Trazodone, Halcion, Dalmane, Ambien, and Resoril. They're prescribed to white people 10 times more often.  But, despite these risks, 10 percent of older adults regularly take sleeping medication. And, guess what? Women are the biggest users.  Okay, fine, what if you just take over the counter medications like Benadryl, or Diphenhydramine, or Tylenol PM?  The common ingredient, diphenhydramine, has some evidence that it's associated with a higher incidence of dementia.  So what are you supposed to do if poor sleep increases your risk and medication increases your risk too? Well, I'm so glad you asked.  Sleep is complicated, but it's essential. I'll share some previous links to episodes in the show notes if you struggle with sleep. I have some good news. Coming soon, I'm doing a month long series on sleep, so make sure you stay tuned because I'm going to do a series of live webinars, too.  And if you go to my website, there are a couple of downloads that you can snag. Three simple ways to improve your sleep and what to do if you're tossing and turning because your mind won't shut off.  Okay, before we finish, what about George Burns?  Well, he lived with good health and a sharp mind until he was 100 years old. Think he didn't have risk factors? Think again. He started smoking cigars when he was 14 years old, but never cigarettes, and like Bill Clinton's joint, he didn't inhale. He had two to three drinks a day, and sometimes more, but he says he never got drunk. And he had a serious head injury after falling out of the bathtub.  He adored his wife of 38 years and looked forward to joining her in heaven. In the meantime, he exercised daily. He swam, walked, and did sit ups and push ups.  But maybe, just maybe, his biggest strength was the laughter he generated. He says he didn't tell jokes, but rather anecdotes and lies.  But he was a funny guy.  Now, I'm not saying that laughter will keep you from getting dementia or make you live longer, but it sure will put more joy in your life.  So laugh and be healthy, because healthy looks great on you.       The information contained in this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not considered to be a substitute for medical advice.

In this episode, I'm talking all about restlessness and anxiety in dogs—something I get a lot of questions about. I'm answering a listener's question on how we can use herbs to help with things like reactivity, separation anxiety, and just general restlessness. I share some of my go-to herbs, like nettles and chamomile, that support the kidneys and nervous system, plus some tips for calming your dog's anxiety. I also talk about how we, as dog owners, need to check in with our own stress levels because our dogs pick up on our energy. And of course, we go over why I'm not a huge fan of meds like Prozac and Trazodone for behavioral issues, and why natural remedies like flower essences and calming herbs are often the way to go.

Quinn comes to you LIVE to discuss Wheel of Fortune mishaps, botched trivia, and Kamala's alcoholism

Jesika Jones, 32, has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for intentionally poisoning her 4-year-old daughter in an effort to fake a seizure disorder. The sentencing was handed down by 485th District Court Judge Steve Jumes, who condemned Jones as a "determined recidivist." Jones, who referred to herself as a "habitual liar," had previously reached a plea deal with prosecutors in January, admitting guilt to charges of injury to a child with serious bodily harm and abandoning or endangering a child with reckless criminal negligence. The charges stemmed from her repeated administration of excessive amounts of Benadryl and other medications to her young daughter, causing severe health issues. Judge Jumes, in his remarks, highlighted Jones' continued dangerous behavior even while awaiting sentencing. He expressed grave concern over her ongoing attempts to gain access to children, noting that Jones had been caught administering medication to a 12-year-old girl as recently as July. "Because you are a determined recidivist and because I believe that you have a knack for finding situations where you can have access to children, I'm not confident giving you a prison sentence simply beyond a traditional dating range will protect the public," Judge Jumes stated. Authorities believe Jones may have victimized all five of her children in similar fashion. Despite being arrested over two years ago, Jones allegedly continued to poison children while out on bond, including the daughter of a man she was attempting to date. Detective Michael Weber of the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office revealed that Jones was caught in July giving medication to a 12-year-old girl who was not her own child. According to the girl's testimony, Jones, who posed as a nurse, administered medication that made her feel dizzy. “We found that she was meeting men and essentially becoming involved with them to gain access to their children,” Det. Weber said. Jones' estranged husband, Derek Jones, also addressed the court, speaking on behalf of their children. He described the profound impact of her actions, stating that their lives had been dominated by "fake sickness," replacing childhood experiences with hospital visits and fear. The case came to light after Jones repeatedly brought her daughter to the emergency room at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, claiming the child suffered from chronic seizures. Medical staff discovered high levels of anti-allergy medication in the girl's system, leading to suspicions of poisoning. When questioned, Jones eventually admitted to dosing her daughter with Benadryl, Trazodone, and Hydroxyzine. Jones eventually confessed to police that she “needs help,” according to an affidavit. “I think I'm a horrible person,” she admitted. “I don't love myself. I don't like who I am. I'm tired of living like this. I'm tired of hurting people. I don't know. I really don't.” During the interview, Jones described herself as a “habitual liar.” Tarrant County Judge Steven Jumes expressed concern for public safety in rendering the 60-year sentence. “Unfortunately, I believe you are a determined recidivist,” he stated.

Trazodone is a very popular medication that is prescribed mostly for people who have depression. There are negative side effects with every drug, but this one seems to have more than others...    

Taylor Coronado met Shad Thyrion when they were in middle school and later dated one another in high school. Although that relationship didn't last, they did remain friends after high school. One night on February 21st, 2022 Taylor picked up Shad from his mother's house at around 9:30pm. They drove to her apartment on Eastman Avenue and there one of their friends joined them to hang out and smoke weed. After this friend left both Shad and Taylor smoked meth and injected Trazodone. After going back to Shad's mother's house, they engaged in sexual intercourse but one of them took things too far.

In a crime that has sent shockwaves through the Brown County community, 25-year-old Taylor Schabusiness has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. The sentencing, passed down by Judge Thomas Walsh, comes after Schabusiness was found guilty of the brutal murder and dismemberment of her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Shad Thyrion.    The Crime's Grisly Details  Thyrion's dismembered remains were discovered in his mother's basement, sparking a horrifying investigation that quickly zeroed in on Schabusiness as the primary suspect. The most haunting discovery of the investigation was made by the victim's mother, Tara Pakanich, and her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, who found Thyrion's severed head and other body parts in a bucket.    Subsequent searches of the premises led to the discovery of additional body parts, evidence of drug use, and other incriminating items.    Tense Moments in Court    During her appearance in the Brown County Circuit Court, Schabusiness, clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, remained an enigmatic figure. While she chose not to address the court, her reactions varied from apparent smirks to shaking her head as the details of her crimes were read out.    The courtroom was a cauldron of emotion. Kelly Thyrion, the victim's uncle, voiced his contempt for Schabusiness, using derogatory terms. On the other hand, Shad's father, Michael, expressed a more compassionate stance, asking for leniency and forgiveness.    The Sentence and Judge's Remarks    Judge Thomas Walsh's decision to sentence Schabusiness to life without parole underscored the severity of the crime. He stated, "This crime offends human decency, dignity, and the community." Despite the defense's attempts to cite Schabusiness's history of drug abuse and trauma as mitigating factors, the judge emphasized the need to prioritize public safety.    Drugs and Their Role in the Crime    Throughout the trial, there were constant reminders of the destructive role of drugs. Schabusiness confessed to both smoking methamphetamine and injecting herself and the victim with Trazodone, a strong sedative. This drug-fueled environment was presented as a backdrop to the tragic events that ensued.    Despite this, Dr. Diane Lytton, who assessed Schabusiness's mental state, suggested that she was experiencing psychosis, complete with hallucinations. However, the jury was not swayed by this testimony, given the physical evidence at hand.    The Aftermath    The Brown County community now faces the grim task of coming to terms with this tragic event. As the details of this case reverberate through the area, many residents are hoping for a renewed focus on the dangers of drug addiction and its potentially catastrophic outcomes.

On the other hand, Shad's father, Michael, expressed a more compassionate stance, asking for leniency and forgiveness.    The Sentence and Judge's Remarks    Judge Thomas Walsh's decision to sentence Schabusiness to life without parole underscored the severity of the crime. He stated, "This crime offends human decency, dignity, and the community." Despite the defense's attempts to cite Schabusiness's history of drug abuse and trauma as mitigating factors, the judge emphasized the need to prioritize public safety.    Drugs and Their Role in the Crime    Throughout the trial, there were constant reminders of the destructive role of drugs. Schabusiness confessed to both smoking methamphetamine and injecting herself and the victim with Trazodone, a strong sedative. This drug-fueled environment was presented as a backdrop to the tragic events that ensued.    Despite this, Dr. Diane Lytton, who assessed Schabusiness's mental state, suggested that she was experiencing psychosis, complete with hallucinations. However, the jury was not swayed by this testimony, given the physical evidence at hand.    The Aftermath    The Brown County community now faces the grim task of coming to terms with this tragic event. As the details of this case reverberate through the area, many residents are hoping for a renewed focus on the dangers of drug addiction and its potentially catastrophic outcomes.

In a crime that has sent shockwaves through the Brown County community, 25-year-old Taylor Schabusiness has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. The sentencing, passed down by Judge Thomas Walsh, comes after Schabusiness was found guilty of the brutal murder and dismemberment of her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Shad Thyrion.    The Crime's Grisly Details  Thyrion's dismembered remains were discovered in his mother's basement, sparking a horrifying investigation that quickly zeroed in on Schabusiness as the primary suspect. The most haunting discovery of the investigation was made by the victim's mother, Tara Pakanich, and her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, who found Thyrion's severed head and other body parts in a bucket.    Subsequent searches of the premises led to the discovery of additional body parts, evidence of drug use, and other incriminating items.    Tense Moments in Court    During her appearance in the Brown County Circuit Court, Schabusiness, clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, remained an enigmatic figure. While she chose not to address the court, her reactions varied from apparent smirks to shaking her head as the details of her crimes were read out.    The courtroom was a cauldron of emotion.

In this episode Nick shares his journey from an ER visit and panic attacks to a place of peaceful sleep. However, the reason he joins the program is that he is on Trazodone and would like to come off.

Farmaci Antidepressivi: quali sono le differenze tra le varie molecole antidepressive e quali sono dei possibili criteri di scelta del miglior farmaco antidepressivo?Nonostante la loro diffusione ed il loro utilizzo in ambito specialistico o meno, i farmaci antidepressivi non sono conosciuti cosí bene sul profilo neurobiochimico.Allo stesso modo la scelta del miglior farmaco antidepressivo non sempre segue dei criteri condivisi, con un buon razionale teorico e basati sulle evidenze.Per tutte queste ragioni ho pensato di fare un breve riassunto, rivolto principalmente ai medici in formazione e ai medici non specialisti, per cercare di fornire alcune indicazioni di base per riuscire a comprendere meglio il complesso mondo dei moderni antidepressivi.Potete considerare questo video come una breve lezione di psicofarmacologia o anche, come usa tanto al giorno d'oggi, uno spunto di psicofarmacologia per gli psicologi o altri operatori della salute mentale.In effetti dovrei, prima o poi, iniziare a fare un corso di psicofarmacologia per psicologi o, più in generale, per i vari operatori della salute mentale (educatori, tecnici della riabilitazione psichiatrica ed infermieri).#antidepressivi #psicofarmaciIl Dr. Valerio Rosso, su questo canale YouTube, si dedica a produrre delle brevi lezioni di psichiatria rivolte ai pazienti, agli operatori della salute mentale, ai famigliari dei pazienti, agli studenti di medicina, agli specializzandi in psichiatria e a chiunque sia interessato alla salute mentale, alla psichiatria ed alle neuroscienze.ISCRIVETEVI AL MIO CANALE ► https://bit.ly/2zGIJorVi interessano la Psichiatria e le Neuroscienze?

Scared pets at the vet are displaying perfectly normal fear responses, but it doesn't have to be like this. Pre-visit medications can be part of a plan to minimize fear, anxiety and stress when your dog or cat needs veterinary medical care. Fear Free certified veterinarian, Dr. Hope Jankunas joins us in this week's episode, which focuses on how pre-visit medications, such as pheromones, gabapentin, and trazodone, may help make your pet's trip to the vet as pleasant as it could be.

Trazodone is an antidepressant that also is commonly used for insomnia (off-label). When treating MDD in adults the immediate release tablet is initiated at 50 mg twice daily and incrementally increased every 3-7 days to a typical dose range between 200-400 mg/day. If used for treating MDD and if the sedative effect is not desired it is recommended to have a smaller daytime dose and a larger bedtime dose. When treating insomnia dosing is initiated at 50-100 mg at bedtime. Most common side effects are sedation, dizziness, and low blood pressure. Serotonin syndrome is a concern so watch for symptoms such as agitation, hallucinations, coordination problems, fast heartbeat, sweating, fever, n/v/d, and tight muscles. Trazodone has a Black Box Warning for Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors so patients should be monitored for clinical worsening and the emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Trazodone Addiction Trazodone is an common antidepressant sold and prescribed under brand names such as Desyrel, Desyrel, Dividose, and Oleptro. https://worldsbest.rehab/trazodone-addiction/ Trazodone is used to treat depressive disorders with or without a manifestation of generalized or acute anxiety. Trazodone is also used off-label to treat alcoholism and sleep disorders. Trazodone is known by a number of brand names including Desyrel, Dividose, Oleptro, and Desyrel. All of these brand names simply offer users the same antidepressant medication. Doctors prescribe Trazodone to patients suffering from depression. Trazodone isn't simply used for mild or low forms of the mental disorder. The drug is prescribed to patients suffering from major bouts of depression that they struggle to overcome. Oftentimes, patients suffer anxiety along with depression and Trazodone can help both disorders. Along with depression, Trazodone can be prescribed to patients off-label to treat insomnia and alcoholism. Like other antidepressants, Trazodone is extremely addictive and users can become dependent on the medication. Trazodone is known as a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI). Drugs that fall into the SSRI category alter the brain's chemical balance. Serotonin regulates emotions and people with low levels of it can experience depression and/or other mental disorders. Trazodone enables users to have more serotonin in their brains. The increased amount of serotonin enables users to be healthier and capable of overcoming disorders that produce depression, insomnia, and anxiety. How is Trazodone taken? Health practitioners can prescribe Trazodone in 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 300 mg tablets. The medication is then taken orally and daily dosage is based on the user's response to the medication. Patients should take Trazodone with food. Although addiction and dependency can be created by taking Trazodone, it is claimed to be relatively safe for users. Research has found Trazodone to be very effective in the treatment of depression and sleep disorders such as insomnia. Misuse is often the reason patients can experience addiction, withdrawal when they stop taking it, and death if they overdose on it. Although Trazodone is said to be safe, there is a risk of dependency on the drug. Patients who misuse Trazodone and do not take it as prescribed, addiction can be created. Trazodone addiction withdrawal Once a patient stops taking Trazodone, they can experience signs of depression that look similar to depression and anxiety. When medication is stopped suddenly, these signs increase. Due to stopping Trazodone, individuals have a deficiency of serotonin in their brain. The body should adjust to the lack of serotonin but until it does, individuals can feel uncomfortable. Signs of Trazodone addiction withdrawal Dizziness/Vertigo/Difficulty walking Lightheadedness Nausea/Vomiting Jittery Thoughts of suicide Lack of concentration Headaches Short temper/Irritability Cold/Goosebumps/Chills Depersonalization Trazodone users can avoid withdrawal by taking the medication as prescribed. Patients shouldn't miss a dose as this can trigger withdrawal symptoms. Trazodone addiction withdrawal symptoms can begin just 24 hours after the last dose was taken and continue for up to three weeks. Tapering off the medication is the best way to end taking it.

Topic - Get positive to have a baby Depression and infertility.  There's new research with two very important findings for those trying to conceive.  First is that men in the relationship should work to stay positive. Depression in the male partner can significantly lower the chances of conception.  Males being treated for major depression are 60% less likely to conceive. Depression wasn't an issue with females and conception. The second finding is that women who are taking Effexor, Serzone, Remeron or Trazodone for depression are about 3 and a half times more likely to have a first-trimester pregnancy loss than those who weren't taking an antidepressant.  Be prepared. Do some research about the role of depression and being treated for it and have candid conversations with your doctors about how these factors play a role in becoming a parent. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drclaudia/message

Trazodone pharmacology is complex. It can inhibit serotonin reuptake, block histamine receptors, and possibly have alpha-blocking activity. Side effects of trazodone include sedation, dizziness, and dry mouth. Rarely, priapism may occur. I've seen this nugget come up on pharmacology exams! While trazodone is classified as antidepressant, it is often used to help manage insomnia. Trazodone can possibly prolong the QT interval. Risk of other medications and patient specific parameters should be considered. Trazodone concentrations can be increased with the use of CYP3A4 inhibitors and reduced with 3A4 inducers.

Older adults are often tormented by insomnia, pain, and other comorbidities that impact their quality of life.  Medication therapy is often sought to treat and manage these diseases, but healthcare providers often overlook the risks of prescribing medications to patients who are older, frail, and at high risk for falls.  Trazodone is increasingly prescribed for insomnia instead of benzodiazepines presumably because it is considered to be safer and it does not appear on either the Beers or STOP/START lists.  But is trazodone really safer for patients than benzodiazepines?

Today’s question is: How to treat sleep disturbances in patients with PTSD?   Here is a summary of this episode: Prazosin is recommended as a first-line agent in sleep disturbances in PTSD with an average dose for men at 16 mg and for women, 7 mg titrated over 5 weeks. Trazodone can be used in patients with initial-sleep insomnia with PTSD at a starting dose of 50 mg. Avoid benzodiazepines due to its abuse potential. Also, its cognitive side effects may negatively affect psychotherapy effectiveness. Quetiapine should not be used first-line in the treatment of insomnia. It is associated with weight gain, which is not dose-related. Download a PDF of this interview here Become a premium member of the Psychopharmacology Institute 

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we interview Dr. Lisa Radosta, DACVB, Board-certified Veterinary Behaviorist at Florida Veterinary Behavior Service on the use of trazodone in cats. Most veterinary professionals advocate for sedation for stressed cats as a modality to help with "Fear Free;" however, what drugs should we be reaching for, and what the pros and cons are of some of these sedatives? Should we be reaching for gabapentin or trazodone?

Here are 5 tips to keep your pet safe (and yourself sane) this July 4: #1: PREPARE FOR A PET PRISON BREAK Katy Perry might like fireworks, but your pet doesn'tâ??that's why July 4 is one of the most popular days for pets to run away. Check your fences and gates to make sure there are no easy areas of escape, and try to keep your pets indoors. #2: DON'T LET YOUR PET EAT YOUR TRASH Make no bones about it: your pet will eat discarded BBQ bones, corn cobs, and anything else you leave lying around. Clean up your trash to reduce the risk of human foods getting stuck in your pet's GI tract and causing pancreatitis. #3: DRUGS ARE YOUR (PET'S) FRIEND If you know that your pet has high anxiety, it's okay to ask for sedation from your vet. You can also ask for anxiety reducing meds like Trazodone, Alprazolam, and Sileo. #4: BEWARE OF FLEAS AND DISEASE If you're taking your pet camping, make sure they've got their flea and tick preventative meds. Topical meds don't require an office visit, so don't be lazy: pick it up before your trip. #5: REMEMBER THAT YOUR PET IS AS THIRSTY AS YOU ARE 85 degrees might be fine for you, but it's too hot for your pet. Keep cool water around, and steer clear of hot pavement. If it burns your hand when you touch it, it's too hot to walk your pet! For clarity on these tips, and to ask any other questions about summer safety for your pet, text VET to 67076. The first question is free, and one of Ask.Vet's licensed veterinarians will text you back with customized advice within minutes. Feel free to download the 5 unconventional tips infographic here: https://prhacker.box.com/s/v9w56mbcy4eyo6xkjje4zbsp7rkflb97 For more information on how to keep your pet safe this July 4, I'm happy to set up an interview with Ask.Vet expert Dr. Cherice Roth. Cherice is available for phone, Skype, and email interviews until July 5.

Do complaints of insomnia stress you out? Well, never fear. In this episode our guest is Dr. Karl Doghramji, Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology and Medicine and the Medical Director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. With his help we deconstruct the “dread pirate” insomnia (as I call it) so you can dominate it in your daily practice. Disclosures: Dr. Doghramji reports recent relationships with Merck (stock) and consulting work for Merck, Xenoport, Jazz, Inspire, Teva and Pfizer. He has a current research grant from Inspire. Clinical Pearls: *Pathophysiology: Likely biological, neurobehavioral and psychological hyperarousal. Possible genetic component. *Depression, anxiety or PTSD may be their primary disorder. Many insomniacs unaware of their depression. Need a high index of suspicion. *Sleep apnea is probably cause in 10-20% of patients who present with insomnia. *GERD can present with insomnia and night time awakenings as its primary symptom. *CBT works as well as pharmacotherapy and has lasting potential even 1-2 years after discontinuation of therapy. *High yield nonpharmacologic therapy: Get up at the same time every morning. Don’t sleep in, even if bedtime or sleep onset was delayed. *Melatonin: It’s effect depends on time administered (see below). It’s not as safe as you think (insulin resistance, low sperm count) 1. Administer very low dose (under 3 mg) four to five hours prior to bed for delayed sleep phase (usually occurs in teens). 2. Administer higher dose (3-5 mg) one hour before bed for sleep initiation (adults with fragmented sleep). *Agents for sleep initiation: zaleplon, zolpidem, ramelteon *Agents for sleep maintenance: zolpidem ER, eszopiclone, doxepin (low dose of 3mg or 6mg), gabapentin (off label) *Suvorexant (orexin antagonist) treats both sleep initiation and maintenance: Start 10 mg and go up 5 mg every few weeks to max 20 mg daily. Orexins are deficient in narcolepsy. Orexins seem to mediate a switch system between arousal and sleepiness. *Doxepin, gabapentin and ramelteon have very lose risk for abuse.  *Off-label use of diphenhydramine for sleep is not recommended ("dirty drug"). Trazodone and mirtazapine also have uncertain benefit. *Mirtazapine 7.5 mg is the dose for insomnia (more sedating). Lower dose favors histamine receptor. Links from the Show: 1.
