Trazodone 50 mg is frequently prescribed in low doses to help manage sleep difficulties, particularly when they are linked to anxiety or depression. It belongs to a class of medications known as serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitors (SARIs), which work by affecting brain chemicals involved in mood and sleep regulation. Typically taken at night, it promotes drowsiness and helps with falling asleep. Some people may experience side effects such as lightheadedness, dry mouth, or a feeling of tiredness the next day.
