trazodone. Why isn't it more popular nowadays?

Posted by sdb on June 16, 2009, at 11:39:03

trazodone lacks to some extent cardiotoxical effects (mainly compared with TCAs), has less anticholinergic side effects, causes less weight gain, gives no sexual side effects. Why is trazodone's reputation in psychiatry still more the one of a sleep med instead of an anti- depressant/anxiety med? Is the reason lack of efficacy or are there some other side effects not commonly mentioned?
