**Trazodone** is an antidepressant medication primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. It works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, thereby increasing its levels and improving mood. Trazodone is known for its sedative effects, making it useful for patients with insomnia related to depression. The medication is available in tablet form and is usually taken orally, with or without food. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Due to its sedative properties, it is often prescribed off-label for sleep disorders. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage, as abrupt discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Patients should be monitored for any worsening of depression or suicidal thoughts, especially in the initial treatment phase. Overall, trazodone is considered a well-tolerated option for managing depression and sleep issues.
