Specializes in Psychiatry

Trazodone is NOT: Indicated for children! i would be surprised if ur family doctor, pediatrician or child psychiatrist would have prescribed it to ur son. For what indication? Maybe u or ur husband has been taking trazodone 4 insomnia & u gave it to ur son to help him sleep. If this is the case, pls stop it immediately. Bring ur 6 y/o to a pediatric consult 4 a medical exam as soon as possible. Thx for ur son!
