not 1/3 of persons it is "from Medscape:
Priapism associated with trazodone usage has been reported with a frequency ranging between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 10 000 and does not appear to be dose related.[3] In both the urological and psychiatric literature, trazodone-induced priapism is more frequently reported than that with any other psychotropic medication. However, this may be related to the widespread prescription of this antidepressant, particularly in the US.[1]
There are wide variations in the interval between initiation of drug therapy and the onset of priapism. However, the data reported to the US Food and Drug Administration suggest that this complication is most likely to occur within the first 28 days of treatment.[4]
