One unexplained case of aggression/drugged/teeth chattering was associated with single administration of a 300 mg generic trazodone tablet obtained by the client from a local pharmacy. These signs did not re-appear when the prescription was filled for the same dose (300 mg) using three 100 mg tablets from NCSU pharmacy.
