What is Trazodone?
Originally approved as an antidepressant medication, studies have found that trazodone in low doses can help increase the availability of serotonin. Serotonin is used by our bodies to stabilize our mood, feelings of well-being and promotes sleep. Goodbye to sleepless nights, hello good mood!

How does Trazodone work?
How does Trazodone work?
Trazodone works by increasing the levels of serotonin within your brain. By raising the levels of serotonin in the brain, trazodone’s job is to increase the levels of this neurotransmitter and help you feel relaxed.
Within your system, trazodone behaves like a shield blocking the reuptake of serotonin by the alpha1 adrenergic receptors and H1 histamine receptors. Considering its unique properties, in low doses trazodone can help promote well-being and better sleep with minimal side effects for most people... thats a big win, thanks science!
Is Trazodone a sleeping pill?
For patients taking Trazodone, sedative effects may include a relaxed, sleepy feeling. Although trazodone was originally designed to treat certain forms of depression, studies have shown that it may be useful as a nighttime sleep aid when taken at low doses for patients struggling with insomnia.
