Is The Feeling Of Standing Outside My Own Body A Side Effect Of Trazodone?

Hello. I am 17 years old. I was put on an antidepressant at the age of 15. I have a weird side effect. I feel as if I am standing outside my own body. It feels like I am watching someone else live my life, yet I can react. I have told my doctor this many times, and have asked to be removed and/or change the medication. I take Trazodone 150 mg every night. It was originally prescribed to me for my anxiety and insomnia. Are these feelings normal?

Hi, Welcome to health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears that you have another psychological problem , may be schizophrenia, still dont worry.
I advise you to consult a psychologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Take, a balanced and nourishing food.Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Practice yoga, meditation, and hearing music as a diversion procedure. These may not be necesory for your health, but keep you tension free.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
