Mechanism Of Working Of Trazodone: Neurotransmitters are the instruments that nerves use to communicate with each other. They are extensively present in brain and depression occurs (according to many experts) when the working of these transmitters is affected. The exact mechanism of Trazodone is still unknown however it is believed that it treats depression and improves the symptoms by improving the communication among the nerves by repairing the affected neurotransmitters. However, other theories have also been proposed as fast as the mechanism of this drug is concerned.
Dosage Administration: Dosage of Trazodone is quite varied as far as the various age groups and indications are concerned. It is orally administered. Trazodone should be stored at room temperature. It is used in the following ways: - The usual dosage of Trazodone ranges between 150mg to 600mg for adults suffering from depression, however, elderly patients may take lower doses. - When used as a sedative, its dose may range between 25mg to 75 mg Note: Trazodone may take up to several weeks in order to show its effects completely.

Likewise, Trazodone has also been one of those medicines that are not recommended to be taken during pregnancy. The reason being this is that it has shown effects on the developing fetus in animals, so it is assumed that it will produce effects in humans too. However, if the physician thinks that the use of Trazodone is vital, he might prescribe an optimum amount of it.
