Is Trazodone HCL Prescribed For Overflow Incontinence?
Question: I went to the VA Hosp Muskogee yesterday. My PSA level was a little high. The Dr asked some questions related to urinary problems. Typical. She asked me if I wanted some meds to help with the dribbling. I said sure. Went to the pharmacy and they gave me Trazodone HCL 50mg tabs. I do not find anywhere that Trazodone is used for dribbling. As a matter of fact I have found several places that state it should not be taken with prostate issues are concerned. I am not depressed and do not have any problem sleeping. I also work in the construction industry, therefore being drowsy and un alert is really not an option for me. So basically, my question is : Is Trazodone HCL prescribed for overflow problem of dribbling?
