Anzathiaprine, Cyclosporin and Prednisone
I am currently taking Anzathiaprine, Cyclosporin and Prednisone! I have been on Prednisone and Anzathiaprine for almost 9 years. They have finally tried to use others but I am scared of the enlarged gums and apparent hair growth that come with using Cyclosporin. I have 'Auto Immune Haemolytic Anaemia' (a rare blood disorder). They've removed my spleen and tried treating with Rituxan. Is anyone else on Cyclosporin and wants to chat or has 'Auto Immune Haemolytic Anaemia'?

Trazodone: Morning "hang overs?"
Okay! My turn. I've posted a response in all the threads in this section.
My question was stated earlier.
My major question is, will 50 mg. still have an anti-depressant effect as 100 mg. leaves me feeling drugged and fatigued in the mornings!

Do any of you find that just 50 mg. is satisfactory???? Really important question to answer. Please share if 50 mg. works.

Also, I have stage 1 fibrosis due to hepatitis so that this drug is probably effecting me more easily. My liver is soft and small, though.
Just curious.
This particular post will reveal if we really have any true medical help or interested physicians checking these threads.
Please help us and just answer a few questions????
Thanks!! [Smile]

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......

But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
