Trazodone D

How is this medication used?

Trazodone is taken by mouth, usually once or several times a day after a meal or snack. Dosage depends on the condition being treated, the patient's response to the medication, and the prescribing physician's recommendations. It's important to follow the prescription label closely and not to take more or less of the medication than prescribed.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of trazodone include dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, dry mouth, fatigue, nausea, and headache. More serious side effects can include serotonin syndrome, orthostatic hypotension (a form of low blood pressure), and priapism (a painful erection lasting for more than 4 hours).

What are the potential interactions?

Trazodone can interact with other medications such as MAO inhibitors, SSRIs, blood thinners, and certain medications for fungus or viral infections. Alcohol and CNS depressants may increase drowsiness when combined with trazodone. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking before starting trazodone.
