Frequently Asked Questions
What is trazodone most commonly used for?
Trazodone is FDA-approved for major depression at 300–600 mg/day. However, it is most often prescribed off-label at low doses (50–150 mg at bedtime) for insomnia, due to its sedating properties without addiction risk.
Is trazodone habit-forming?
No — trazodone is not a controlled substance and is not habit-forming. This makes it a widely preferred sleep aid over benzodiazepines (lorazepam, alprazolam) and zolpidem for long-term management.
How does trazodone compare to zolpidem for sleep?
Zolpidem is more potent for acute sleep onset and works faster. Trazodone is less effective for severe insomnia but lacks zolpidem's controlled substance classification, morning grogginess, and dependence risk.
What is the risk of priapism with trazodone?
Trazodone carries a rare but serious risk of priapism (painful, prolonged erection) in men — estimated at 1 in 6,000 patients. Any erection lasting over 4 hours requires emergency treatment.
What does trazodone cost through Script Unlock?
Generic trazodone is one of the most affordable medications available — typically $8–$14/month. Script Unlock pharmacies offer competitive cash pricing for this commonly prescribed sleep aid.
