Although rarely trazodone can cause priapism, an erection lasting only 15 minutes is of no clinical concern. If you notice that An unexpected erection lasts longer, seek medical attention immediately. Given the current circumstances, you probably do not need to adjust the dosage of the medication, but speak to your physician about it. Good luck.

While studies have shown that trazodone doesn't help erectile dysfunction, it tended to improve sexual desire. Check with your prescribing physician before making any changes in your dose to avoid rebound effects.
