Muscle Cramps
I also have been taking triamterene for water retention from open heart surgery but I only use the potasium pill when the cramps in the legs etc. present themselves. I also found that I have been perscribed 2 per day and it seems to work the same if I only take one.

Side effect of Trazodone
I was taken trazondone because of depression. I developed priapism which require surgery. now I am even more depress because of my condition and feel as though my life is now over. My doctor is suggesting an implant, but I am more afraid of that and I am not sure that my insurance will cover it. If not, I do not know what I am going to do. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who experience this also and what did you do. I am seriously thinking about getting an attorney to sue the drug company if I knew who the manufactutor was. I am so depress now that i just go to work and hide in my house when i am not at work. I can no longer have a relationship because of this drug. if someone out there can help me. please e-mail me. if it matters this happened in May of 2004.
