Careful when glazing over the fine print. Sometimes its just better to get some new hobbies, eat better foods, and start increasing your quality of life by improving the quality of your lifestyle. [instead of going on dangerous drugs]

Holy Mackerel!!


Penile Amputation: Nightmare Side Effect - Forbes

“Penile Amputation After Trazodone-Induced Priapism: A Case Report,” was published in the Primary Care Companion to The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry this year, and recounts the case of a 35-year-old man who was prescribed trazodone, an antidepressant that predates Prozac and Paxil and is still the #12 most-used psychiatric drug, by a psychiatrist to treat sleep problems.

"The patient did not mention his trazodone use, and the doctors assumed that his priapism had been caused by a blood clot."

Please tell your doctors treating you everything... and I mean EVERYTHING because it sounds like although this man was (over)medicated, it may have been prevented.

I once zipped up carelessly while going commando many years ago. Once.

That was bad enough. But that guy has it much worse.
