Does Intake Of Trazodone Interfere With Anxiety And IBS Medications?

My psychiatrist prescribed Trazodone as a medication to help me sleep. Although we discussed this during my visit, after reading the descriptive materials several times I am a little concerned regarding side effects and interaction materials with medications I am taking now. I am currently taking Clonazepam[anxiety], Lomotil[IBS], Losartsan[moderate hypertension] and supplements-one-a day men s vitamin, D3[1000IU], fish oil[1200mg] and vitamin C. After reading the drug info material and the precautions, I am reluctant now to have the prescription filled and the risk associated just for something to help me sleep. Am I being too cautious?

Hi,

Trazodone does not interact with your routine drugs for IBS. It will not worsen anxiety also.

Nothing much to worry and you’re going on the right track.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
