No, trazodone is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) it used to be used for depression but now is solely used as a sleep aid in people who have trouble sleeping or diagnosed with insomnia. It is important to note that although this medication is sometimes used in depression with with insomnia, the doses used for sleep are often below the effective dose used in the treatment of depression.

∙ 11y agoNo-- Trazadone is a TCA (tetracyclic antidepressant) and works on different receptors, neurotransmittors, and circuits of the brain than benzodiazapines. Albeit, both can be used to treat similar issues and cause sedation, etc., they have completely different modes of action.
