Drug info - What is Trazadone?

[oldman]

yes I know it's an anti-depressant that can be used in lower doses as a sleep aid, but is it really an ssri or something else. I have read elsewhere that it inhibits the re-uptake of seratonin but I'm not sure if that puts it in the same class of other ssri's like prozac, lexapro, or effexor. swim has a script for it for a sleep aid and he finds it works well for him.

he wonders if it would be the best if one should lay off the trazadone for several days or a week before doing mdma because of it is an ssri it would surely diminish any of the mdma efffects correct? how about as a late sleep aid after a night rolling would it help with diminishing seratonin syndrome or would it be best to take an ambien?

swim has used it as a sleep aid after rolling and doesn't really recall any greater negative side effects but this does not mean that it would always be. he doesn't roll that often maybe once every other month never more that 200 mgs (including a booster). so he's not delving in toxic levels but he would like to keep what effects he has intact.
