Trazodone is an antidepressant that belongs to a group of drugs called serotonin receptor antagonists and reuptake inhibitors (SARIs). While trazodone is not a true member of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) class of antidepressants, it does still share many properties of the SSRIs.
Trazodone is used to treat major depressive disorder.
It may help to improve your mood, appetite, and energy level as well as decrease anxiety and insomnia related to depression.
Trazodone works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural chemical (serotonin) in the brain.
