Will taking 200 mg of trazodone for insomnia lower my dopamine levels since i have adhd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Trazodone's mechanism of action really targets more the serotonin receptors as well as the histamine H1 receptors and a1 adrenergic receptors. It is not known to have much clinical effect on dopamine.
