I have pulmonary fibrosis and just got real weak and felt shaky. I also took Trazodone last night. Could that be a side effect? I won t just fall down dead from the fibrosis, will I? Won t I gradually lose oxygen? I have an oxymeter and felt fine a few minutes ago.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Trazodone is tricyclic antidepressant and can cause side effects like tremors, giddiness and dizziness. So your symptoms can be due to side effect of trazodone. But in IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) patient low oxygen and high carbon dioxide can also cause these symptoms. So better to get done ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) Analysis first to rule out this. If ABG is normal than consult psychiatrist and change trazodone to other safer and newer antipsychotic.
