            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            In short-term studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults (<24 yr of age) taking antidepressants for major depressive disorders and other psychiatric illnesses

            This increase was not seen in patients aged >24 years; a slight decrease in suicidal thinking was seen in adults >65 years

            In children and young adults, risks must be weighed against the benefits of taking antidepressants

            Patients should be monitored closely for changes in behavior, clinical worsening, and suicidal tendencies; this should be done during initial 1-2 months of therapy and dosage adjustments

            The patient’s family should communicate any abrupt changes in behavior to the healthcare provider

            Worsening behavior and suicidal tendencies that are not part of the presenting symptoms may require discontinuation of therapy

            This drug is not FDA approved for use in pediatric patients or for treatment of bipolar depression

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity

            Coadministration with serotonergic drugs

            • Risk of serotonin syndrome when coadministered within 14 days of MAOIs, or coadministered with other strong serotonergic drugs (eg, SNRIs, SSRIs)
            • Starting trazodone in a patient who is being treated with linezolid or IV methylene blue is contraindicated because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome
            • If linezolid or IV methylene blue must be administered, discontinue trazodone immediately and monitor for CNS toxicity; may resume clomipramine 24 hr after last linezolid or methylene blue dose or after 2 weeks of monitoring, whichever comes first

            Cautions

            Administer shortly after meal; if drowsiness occurs, decrease dosage or give most of divided dosage HS

            Discontinue if prolonged or inappropriate erection occurs

            Discontinue if neutropenia, leukopenia

            Use caution in patients with risk of seizures

            Clinical worsening and suicide ideation may occur despite medication in adolescents and young adults (18-24 years)

            Perform leukocyte and differential with fever, sore throat, or other signs of infection

            Discontinue if leukocytes/ANC decreases below normal range

            Coadministration with MAO inhibitors: risk of serotonin syndrome

            Drugs that interfere with serotonin reuptake have been associated with bleeding; trazodone may also impair platelet aggregation resulting in increased risk of bleeding events

            Potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome reported when coadministered with drugs that impair serotonin metabolism (in particular, MAOIs, including nonpsychiatric MAOIs, such as linezolid and IV methylene blue) (see Contraindications)

            Coadministration with NSAIDs and aspirin, may increase risk of bleeding

            Bone fractures associated with antidepressant treatments

            Increases risk of hyponatremia

            Use caution in patients with risk of seizures including head trauma, alcoholism, brain damage

            May worsen psychosis in patients or precipitate mania or hypomania; screen, for bipolar disorder, patients presenting with depressive symptoms

            May cause orthostatic hypotension and syncope; use wiht caution

            QT prolongation with or without torsade de pointes and ventricular tachycardia reported

            May increase risk associated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT); discontinue ECT before initiating trazodone therapy

            Risk of mydriasis; may trigger angle closure attack in patients with angle closure glaucoma with anatomically narrow angles without a patent iridectomy

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Published prospective cohort studies, case series, and case reports over several decades with use in pregnant women have not identified drug-associated risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes

            Drug has been shown to cause increased fetal resorption and other adverse effects on fetus in rat when given at dose levels approximately 7.3 to 11 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 400 mg/day in adults on a mg/m² basis; there was also an increase in congenital anomalies in the rabbit at approximately 7.3 to 22 times the MRHD on a mg/m² basis

            Consider the risk of untreated depression when discontinuing or changing treatment with antidepressant medication during pregnancy and postpartum

            Lactation

            Data from published literature report the transfer of trazodone into human milk; there are no data on effect on milk production; limited data from postmarketing reports have not identified an association of adverse effects on breastfed child

            The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child or from underlying maternal condition

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            TRAZODONE - ORAL

            (TRAZ-oh-done)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Desyrel

            WARNING: Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders. These medications can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. It is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication (especially for people younger than 25), even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition.Tell the doctor right away if you notice worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed.

            USES: This medication is used to treat depression. It may help to improve your mood, appetite, and energy level as well as decrease anxiety and insomnia related to depression. Trazodone works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural chemical (serotonin) in the brain.

            HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using trazodone and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth after a meal or snack as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. If drowsiness is a problem and you are taking 1 dose daily, take it at bedtime. If you are taking 2 doses each day, it may help to take 1 of the doses at bedtime. Follow your doctor's directions carefully.Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may start you at a low dose and gradually increase your dose.Take this medication exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and the risk of serious side effects may be increased.Keep taking this medication as prescribed even if you feel well. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Anxiety, agitation, and trouble sleeping can occur if the drug is suddenly stopped.It may take 2 to 4 weeks before you notice the full effects of this medication. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.

            SIDE EFFECTS: See also the Warning section.Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, blurred vision, changes in weight, headache, muscle ache/pain, dry mouth, bad taste in the mouth, stuffy nose, constipation, or change in sexual interest/ability may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water, or use a saliva substitute.To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: shaking (tremors), nightmares, ringing in the ears, problems urinating, blood in urine, signs of infection (such as such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever), shortness of breath, stomach/abdominal pain.Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest/jaw/left arm pain, fainting, fast/irregular heartbeat, seizures, eye pain/swelling/redness, widened pupils, vision changes (such as seeing rainbows around lights at night).This medication may increase serotonin and rarely cause a very serious condition called serotonin syndrome/toxicity. The risk increases if you are also taking other drugs that increase serotonin, so tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take (see Drug Interactions section). Get medical help right away if you develop some of the following symptoms: fast heartbeat, hallucinations, loss of coordination, severe dizziness, severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, twitching muscles, unexplained fever, unusual agitation/restlessness.Rarely, males may have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours. If this occurs, stop using this drug and get medical help right away, or permanent problems could occur.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare.

QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using trazodone, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using trazodone safely.Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially drowsiness, dizziness, and QT prolongation (see above).During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed.
