How Long Does Trazodone Stay in Your System?
What is Trazodone?
Although trazodone is designed to treat depression, studies have shown that becoming dependent on its use can happen easily. Recovering from trazodone is possible, and recovery can be easier than you or your loved ones think.

Trazodone is an antidepressant drug designed to improve users’ mood, energy, and appetite. In addition, it can lessen a person’s anxiety levels and help check conditions such as insomnia which commonly accompanies depression. It also works for schizophrenia, sleep difficulties, and dependence on substances such as alcohol.1
