    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.

      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
