trazodone
SARI class medication
Trazodone is a prescription antidepressant medication, though it's now more commonly prescribed at lower doses as a sleep aid.
It works by affecting serotonin levels in the brain.
Unlike many sleep medications, it's not classified as a controlled substance: My doctor put me on trazodone for insomnia.
