Trazodone: 7 things you should know - Drugs.com

Heres how Trazadone works in the brain:
[QUOTE][Pharmacology

Inhibits reuptake of serotonin, causes adrenoreceptor subsensitivity, acts as a 5HT2a receptor antagonist and induces significant changes in 5-HT presynaptic receptor adrenoreceptors. Trazodone also significantly blocks histamine (H1) and alpha1-adrenergic receptors.

TraZODone (Professional Patient Advice) - Drugs.com

I suggest talking to your pdoc about these issues. I did take Trazodone at 50mg for a few months and it helped my insomnia but it did give me a hangover effect. It was originally used as a basic antidepressant and than was started as off label for sleep:

[QUOTE][Multifunctional drugs are those with more than one therapeutic mechanism. Trazodone is a multifunctional drug with dose-dependent pharmacologic actions. That is, it has hypnotic actions at low doses due to blockade of 5-HT2A receptors, as well as H1 histamine receptors and α1 adrenergic receptors. Higher doses recruit the blockade of the serotonin transporter (SERT) and turn trazodone into an antidepressant. Although trazodone has traditionally been used as a low dose hypnotic, a new controlled release formulation that has the potential to improve the tolerability of high doses may provide an opportunity to revisit this multifunctional drug as an antidepressant as well./QUOTE]
