Anyone currently on Trazodone?

I was wondering if anyone out there is taking Trazodone at the moment, and if so are you having any trouble getting hold of it? My regular pharmacy has been unable to get any for the last 2 months, and my psychiatrist told me there's a general problem getting it at the moment. So far I have managed to get it from Boots in a nearby town, but just wanted to check how widespread the problem is, because obviously I don't want to have to suddenly go cold turkey if I can't get it again next time. I'm in Suffolk.

Me and they have none near me so cold turkey it is. The parmasict said they are having trouble with the supplier.

Buggar. Are you going to be ok? Cold turkey is evil. You may want to try calling round other pharmacies? It might at least get you enough that you can cut down slowly. I think I will try to get more a couple of weeks before I need them so that I can come off them more gradually if I need to stop them. It's a bloody nuisance though isn't it?

I checked there are none but my cpn is trying to get me something else or up my dose as they have the higher doses here.
