Trazodone

Online Prescription for Depression & Sleep Support

Trazodone is a prescription medication commonly used to treat major depressive disorder and to support sleep difficulties, particularly when trouble falling or staying asleep is related to mood symptoms. It may be prescribed when symptoms such as low mood, anxiety, or disrupted sleep interfere with daily functioning.

Trazodone works by increasing serotonin activity in the brain, which helps regulate mood and emotional balance. At lower doses, it also has calming effects that may support sleep, making it a common option for individuals who experience both depression and insomnia as part of their overall mental health picture.

Trazodone is not a controlled substance and must be prescribed by a licensed psychiatric provider. Through Telemynd, it may be prescribed following a secure virtual evaluation, when clinically appropriate. Many insurance plans cover trazodone, and generic options are widely available.

Some people may experience side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, or headache, particularly when starting treatment or adjusting the dose. Trazodone is typically taken once daily, often in the evening due to its sedating effects. Your Telemynd provider will monitor how the medication is working and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Disclaimer: Medication decisions are made by a licensed psychiatric provider based on a clinical evaluation, medical history, and individual needs. Not every medication is appropriate for every person, and treatment options should be discussed directly with your provider before starting or changing medication.
