Because it inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and allows for more of that 'feel-good' chemical to remain available in your brain, Trazodone (Desyrel) is primarily used to treat depression.
Besides its primary use for depression, Trazodone may also be prescribed for anxiety, and insomnia. Its calming effects can ease anxiety symptoms and improve sleep quality, which can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle to sleep due to racing thoughts or chronic pain.
