Acid Reflux. Switched From Ambien To Trazodone. Is Acid Reflux A Side Effect?
My doctor took away ambien on Tuesday and have been taking 50 Mlg. of Trazodone for sleep. Woke up in the middle of the night with stomach acid coming up in my chest and throat. I already take 2 prescription prilosec for acid reflux and have not had any problem til Tues, night. I feel like Trazodone is causing this since I am not taking anything new except that. Is this possible or do you think something else causing it? Afraid to take tonight due to miserable last two nights with no sleep.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Drug induced acidic problem is common and it called Gastritis, it is better to stop the drug for some time and start proton pump inhibitor (Omeprazol 40 mg ) just once in day at evening time gives good result, along with this try avoiding coffee alcohol smoking before going to bed, it will be alright soon no need to worry have nice day.
