I also add 50mg of Lamictal about the same time I started Trazodone.. but even with a small increase in water retention it cannot account for all those lbs. I eat a loooot more and that need to return to "baseline" or I'll get fat again in about 1 month (I just lose ~20 lbs in the last couple months :S)

If you're just using it for sleep there is the option of amitriptyline or doxepin -- they also will have some of the problems of Trazodone but not as much.

Additionally -- and since yo8've been on it now for a while so it is irrelevant, Trazodone has a metabolite called mCPP that can make people a bit loopy/psychosis if they're susceptible to it, at least while waking up. (There are other things like the somewhat rarity of priapism... ugh... I shouldn't go listing the package insert... what you're experiencing is probably all that what you will get)
