Serotonin antagonism combined with reuptake inhibition places trazodone in the SARI category, distinct from the SSRIs in its receptor profile. It blocks serotonin receptors while inhibiting the serotonin transporter, with comparatively little action on other neurotransmitter systems, and it also engages the histamine H1 receptor. That antihistaminic component produces the sedation for which the drug is extensively used off-label in insomnia, alongside its approved role in depression. Unlike many hypnotics it is generally not habit-forming, a property that shapes prescribing preferences. A short elimination half-life of about five to nine hours accompanies its nervous-system classification. The molecule is C19H22ClN5O with a mass near 371.9 g/mol.

This antidepressant medication is prescribed for depression and is widely used off-label to treat insomnia because of its sedating properties. It works primarily by blocking serotonin receptors and inhibiting serotonin reuptake in the brain, with relatively little effect on other neurotransmitters. Unlike many sleep aids, it is generally not habit-forming.
