An off label use for Trazadone is as a sleep aid. At doses under 150 mg it doesn’t really work as an antidepressant but will make you drowsy. I’ve been prescribed it before as the first step before Ambien
Amitriptyline as well, started taking it for peripheral neuropathy. Ended up on a higher dose because it’s a heavy sedative. Take it before bed, and I’m out. I was taking Zopiclone before, to help me sleep but don’t need it now. Also it failed as an antidepressant but works wonders for antianxiety.
We have it for our dog. We got it first when she was spayed and needed to chill out in order to not rip stitches and now we have it to give before stressful situations (guests, vet, etc). It definitely makes her more tired, but she will still fight through it to be crazy.

I thought it’s use as an antidepressant was completely discontinued because of that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not a doctor, just need help sleeping sometimes
