This is how Trazodil (Trazodone) can change your day
Trazodil works relatively quickly to improve feelings of depression and relieve sleep problems. ⏳ Some patients report significant improvement in the first few weeks of treatment: a greater sense of calm, a reduction in negative thoughts, and more uninterrupted and peaceful sleep. This positive change can affect all areas of life – from mood to the ability to concentrate at work or school. We want you to know that there is a possibility for a new and better routine, one that is accompanied by optimism and a sense of inner balance.
Scientific explanation of the mechanism of action of Trazodil (Trazodone)
On a professional level, trazodone – the active ingredient in trazodil – acts on the serotonin pathways in the brain by increasing the level of the neurotransmitter responsible for mood. After taking the drug, it is absorbed in the digestive system and gradually broken down in the liver, which allows for a prolonged and controlled effect throughout the day and night. As a result, patients experience a general sense of calm and improved sleep quality. This unique mechanism of action makes trazodil an effective solution for depression accompanied by sleep difficulties, while addressing complex chemical changes in the brain in a balanced way.
How to use correctly?
When starting treatment with trazodil, it is recommended to consult a doctor to receive precise guidance on the optimal dosage for you. Typically, the initial dosage for adults ranges from 50–100 mg per day, in a single dose before bedtime or divided into different hours, but in certain situations, the doctor can gradually increase the dosage. If you are also taking Etat in an adult dosage, it is important to consult a professional before starting treatment, to avoid drug overload and unwanted effects. The maximum permissible dosage per day usually does not exceed 400 mg, according to the guidelines of the Israeli Ministry of Health.
Tips for successful intake:
- The medication can be taken with or without food, but it is best to avoid a heavy meal just before swallowing.
- To obtain a sleep-aiding effect, some patients choose to take the medication in the evening.
- If you suffer from various sensitivities or additional medication burden, inform your doctor.
- In the case of children or patients with extremely low weight, the dosage should be adjusted according to the recommendation of a specialist.
Always remember to read and act according to your doctor's instructions and the leaflet attached to the medication, and to inform the medical team of any changes or difficulties that arise during treatment.
Possible side effects
Like most medications, Trazodil can cause side effects. Most patients experience them to be mild to moderate, but they are individual to each person. Below is a list ranked from most common to least common:
- Feeling drowsy or tired during the day – some people feel an increased need to sleep, especially at the beginning of treatment.
- Dry mouth – a common phenomenon that may lead to temporary discomfort, but can be relieved by drinking plenty of fluids.
- Dizziness or headaches – sometimes slight feelings of instability appear at first.
- Appetite changes – some patients experience an increase or decrease in appetite; continued monitoring is necessary.

Tips to help you get the most out of Terzodil

• If you feel dry in your mouth, be sure to drink water during the day or sweeten your mouth with sugar-free candies.
When should it not be used?
It is important to know that there are certain situations in which trazodone should not be used. The drug is not recommended for patients with a known sensitivity to trazodone or the inactive ingredients contained in the tablet. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult a doctor, as the drug may affect the fetus or the nursing baby. Also, in advanced liver or kidney diseases, close monitoring or dosage adjustment may sometimes be required. We always recommend that you inform your doctor about all underlying diseases and medications you are taking.
Dangerous combinations
There are medications and foods that may cause unwanted interactions with trazodil. ⚠️ For example, combining it with MAO antidepressants or combining it with opioid painkillers may increase side effects or cause an increased risk of serotonin syndrome. It is also recommended to limit alcohol consumption during treatment, as it may increase fatigue and dizziness. If you are taking another medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (such as Atenolol), back this up with comprehensive medical advice due to the potential for overloading the body's systems.
