the priaprism thing for me was a deal breaker. My shrink was like "As an informed consent issue, I have to tell you there's very, very small risk of your priaprism.." at the time, I didn't know what it was, so we had this awkward convo about how it could
"cause an erection that you would be unable to...ummm..errr...'relieve" and I was like "Nope, gimme some ambien"So yeah. Just say NO. The risk is small--I've known plenty of guys on trazadone who still have functioning penises, but still; with so many other meds, WHY BOTHER?
If you have one of those "no controlled substances shrinks" and can't switch him/her out for a good doc, then suggest vistaril or remeron or..basically, anything that isn't trazadone.
