I've only just been given these to switch onto, but had no issue getting them. How do you find Trazodone?

It's 100mg I've to start on. Do ou find it helps you sleep? I've to go on Trazodone solely as there is a risk of serotonin syndrome with Venlafaxine.

Hi Guys, to save me looking it up, what exactly is Trazodone?  And, what is Serotonin syndrome

Trazodone is a AD/anxiety drug which also supposedly helps with sleep.
Serotonin syndrome is a drug interaction which could threaten your life  basically if you are taking two drugs or more that can affect the serotonin levels in your brain.
