Does Trazodone cause indigestion and/or heartburn?

Yes! Oh my gosh… it does so for me BADLY. You’re not alone! I have to take Prilosec 40mg to help.

I’m glad I found this question! I was just prescribed trazodone for sleep and after first dose, I had heartburn for 2 days. Horrible. I have stopped taking it.

I started this med 11 days ago, 100mg. My doc said it would help me sleep. I have IBS-C and was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I wasn't sleeping well. I had some acid indigestion before due to the hypothyroidism and the fact that the levothyroxine takes a month to start really working, but after being on trazodone for five days I noticed that the indigestion pain and bloating were really getting worse. I am stopping it now. Not worth it, and it doesn't help me sleep either!! Does anyone else have this?

I was recently prescribed 50 mg also. Last night I took my 3rd dose and woke an hour later with awful heartburn that hasn't gotten any better all day even after my heartburn medicine. I have been researching all day to see if it was this medicine. I dread taking it tonight. Being its Sunday I can't call my doctor till tomorrow. I will be calling first thing. I have IBS and GERD also so this won't be first medicine to do this.

I have been taking trazodone 100 mg every night and,I was told to stop taking it because I am having severe gastric problems and sever pain after being on a higher dose! I cant stop taking it I have to lower the dose gradually! That's not good for me but my Gerd will eventually go away! According to the pharmacist that's one of the side effects!

I am so glad you asked this. I take Trazodone for sleep, I have been for about 7 years. Within the last year I started to experience indigestion and heartburn. I don't think after all this time it could be caused by Trazodone, but you bring up a point that I have never considered. I would suggest giving it a few weeks and hopefully it will resolve itself.
