Overuse and overdosing of Trazodone.
Trazodone
overuse started with a school experiment by one of the ACC staffers.
Trazodone is an antidepressant
with aggression as a known side effect,
as well as agitation and dog reactivity.
Trazodone is extremely addictive and withdrawal is torturous.
After overdosing dogs, the ACC only makes it worse for them:
rating them Rescue Only and
kill-listing them.
Does the ACC alert adopters that the dog
they are adopting needs time to decompress from this drug? No.
At the ACC since 11-21-19 without incident and beginning to do better,
Joe was killed by the ACC on 12-4-19,
after they had doubled his Trazodone dosage to 20 mg on 12-2-19.
A vet would never prescribe so many psychiatric meds.
But at the ACC, this is all done under the aegis of the Department of Health.
The ACC must stop the drugging
and get the dogs out for exercise and interaction with people.
