No, Trazodone is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and is also a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, Trazodone (Desyrel®, Trittico®, Thombran®, Trialodine®) is a psychoactive compound with sedative, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties. The manufacturer claims that the antidepressant activity becomes evident in the first week of therapy. Trazodone has less prominent anticholinergic (dry mouth, constipation, tachycardia) and adrenolytic (hypotension, male sexual problems) side effects than most tricyclic antidepressants. The incidence of nausea and vomiting observed with Trazodone is relatively low compared to SSRIs.

PRESCRIBED FOR: Trazodone is primarily used for the treatment of depression. It is sometimes prescribed as a sedative, and it also is used in combination with other drugs for the treatment of panic attacks, aggressive behavior, agoraphobia, and cocaine withdrawal. A wide ranging use, panic attacks can be related to anxiety.

Sleeping problems? No, it's suppose to be nonaddictive and only taken for about a 6 month period or so. Also used for an antidepressant. Personally I think they suck. Get your head out of your ***, eat healthy, and get more physical exercise.

No an antidepressant. That is all needs to be said.
