trazodone and Disorders of Excessive Somnolence

trazodone has been researched along with Disorders of Excessive Somnolence in 3 studies

Trazodone: A serotonin uptake inhibitor that is used as an antidepressive agent. It has been shown to be effective in patients with major depressive disorders and other subsets of depressive disorders. It is generally more useful in depressive disorders associated with insomnia and anxiety. This drug does not aggravate psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p309)
trazodone : An N-arylpiperazine in which one nitrogen is substituted by a 3-chlorophenyl group, while the other is substituted by a 3-(3-oxo[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-2(3H)-yl)propyl group.

Disorders of Excessive Somnolence: Disorders characterized by hypersomnolence during normal waking hours that may impair cognitive functioning. Subtypes include primary hypersomnia disorders (e.g., IDIOPATHIC HYPERSOMNOLENCE; NARCOLEPSY; and KLEINE-LEVIN SYNDROME) and secondary hypersomnia disorders where excessive somnolence can be attributed to a known cause (e.g., drug affect, MENTAL DISORDERS, and SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME). (From J Neurol Sci 1998 Jan 8;153(2):192-202; Thorpy, Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, 2nd ed, p320)

"Trazodone is a clinically available anti-depressant that exhibits affinity for serotonin 1A and 2A receptors, as well as for alpha-adrenoceptors, suggesting that it may be useful to treat L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia and psychosis that are encountered in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD)."1.48Trazodone alleviates both dyskinesia and psychosis in the parkinsonian marmoset model of Parkinson's disease.
