Trazodone can be a a bit mean to a person coming off of it.
Major problems are extreme aggression and rage.
If it isn't already evident, try to keep a buddy nearby. If he expresses thoughts of violent behavior, YOU OR AN ER DOC on the phone might be able to coax him into to a FRIENDLY visit to the ER for a quiet counter-measure of "gentle meds".
A lot depends on his daily intake when he stopped.

I went cold turkey from trazodone (150mgs/pm).I experienced edginess and what felt like low blood pressure.I would be standing and all of the sudden I would feel faint(it would pass) and I never did faint.I went back on the trazodone and the symptoms disappeared.I then weened myself off like my doctor told me and everything was fine...
Tank you for you share i thought it was because for not taking my hi blood pressure properly
