A member asked:

Is trazadone safe to take as a sleeping pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trazodone: Yes, trazodone is safe as a sleep medication. It is less sedating and hypnotic than other sleep medicines. Of course every medication has its risk profile and it does cause sedation, but it is written often for sleep purposes.
