Article Synopsis
- Trazodone, originally approved for depression, is now more commonly used off-label to treat insomnia.
- A systematic review of studies from 1983 to 2016 evaluated its efficacy and safety, finding strong evidence for its effectiveness in both primary and secondary insomnia.
- While older studies used higher doses for depressed patients, newer research indicates that low doses can be safe and effective for treating insomnia in broader populations, with drowsiness being the most common side effect.
