Question: my doctor prescribed Trazodone HCL 12.25 mg. he said the only side effect is sleepiness. is that true?

Brief Answer:
Drowsiness is the most common side effect

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using 'Ask a Doctor'. Drowsiness or sleepiness is the most common side effect of Trazodone, which is what your doctor might have meant. There are others, including nausea and vomiting, headache, nervousness, blurred vision, and many other that are less common. However, your doctor is right that usually Trazodone does not have significant side effects, but when it does, it is most likely sleepiness.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
