You got a study or credentials to go with your advice or are you just spouting uninformed bullshit on the internet?
Since I beat you to it, it is uninformed bullshit. Trazadone is an antidepressant, not a tranquilizer. It’s being studied to maybe be used with other medications as a mild treatment for schizophrenia, priapism is a rare side effect, and it has long been used for mild insomnia.
It’s not “extreme overkill” or some sort of emergency-room chemical straightjacket.
Trazadone is an antidepressant, not a tranquilizer.
Trazodone has been around as an antidepressant for over 60 years, but it became popular more recently as a sleeping pill. Trazodone can have a sedative effect, which is why it’s used to help people sleep. Taking trazodone won’t fix a sleep problem. Trazodone does have some serious side effects.
You missed the point.
This is not a medicine for insomnia and is extreme overkill for that condition.
Especially given all the sedative hypnotics available that are for insomnia instead of using
a very strong tranquilizer not meant for sleep disorders.
I hope that clears things up.
I never said the medicine was bad for the right intent and don’t know how that was implied to you.

I have taken it, have you?
“I took it once so now I’m the FDA”. Personal experience is valid—for you. It doesn’t rewrite pharmacology
