Trazadone, which goes by the popular
brand names Oleptro or Desyrel, is a
serotonin antagonist and reuptake
inhibitor.
It was originally designed to treat
depression, but because of different
Trazadone effects like sedation, it is
now more often used for insomnia
and depression.
Oleptro
Can Trazodone Get You High?
Trazodone’s effects involve balancing
naturally occurring chemicals in the
brain that transmits nerve impulses
between cells.
It also blocks the serotonin receptors,
limiting reabsorption by the neurons.
This effectively boosts the
concentration of serotonin in the
brain, which can regulate different
neurological effects, especially mood.
It makes people happy and relaxed.
While certain types of drugs have
greater potentials for abuse and the
development of physical dependence
than anti-depressants, the risk for
Trazadone abuse is low but possible.
Antidepressant discontinuation
syndrome is a well-documented
phenomenon among individuals who
used the drug for periods of more
than 6-8 weeks.
People develop physical dependence
on trazodone and become addicted to
it.
How Long Does Trazodone Take to
Kick In?
This will depend on several factors.
Trazadone is absorbed by the body
after oral administration, but food
may delay its absorption and
decreases peak serum concentration.
Generally, it has a redistribution half-
life of approximately 1 hour and an
elimination rate of 10-12 hours.
It may take 1-2 full weeks before
Trazadone begins to work, but some
may need to wait 4-6 weeks to reap its
full benefits.
Is Trazodone Addictive?
One can get high on trazodone in
several ways other than overdosing.
Mixing trazodone and alcohol can
increase the odds for suffering from
an overdose.
Even small doses can have side effects
like dizziness, drowsiness, and
difficulty concentrating when mixed
with alcohol.
Can you snort Trazodone?
Yes! People who misuse this drug
may also crush the tablets and snort
them to get high. Snorting trazodone
bypasses the liver for metabolism.
The drug can be absorbed quickly by
the mucous membrane of the nasal
passage. It is delivered directly to the
brain via the blood-brain barrier.
Smoking trazodone is also possible.
The drug is placed on a surface that
can be heated. While boiling, it will
produce a vapor that can be inhaled
using a tube.
This allows the medication to reach
the bloodstream more quickly via the
lungs and enters the heart before
being pumped to the rest of the body.
It brings intense and immediate, but
short-lived, trazodone high effects.
Injecting drugs, also referred to as IV
drug use, is also a common way to
abuse trazodone.
It is done by injecting a needle to get
the drug into a vein. This technique is
preferred by many because the
substance gets to the brain faster.
However, this has a higher risk of
overdose, death, and infection,
especially if the needle is not sterile.
Trazodone drug interactions can also
create a dangerous high. This drug
may enhance the body’s response to
barbiturates and other central
nervous system depressants.
How Does Trazodone High Feel?
Trazodone high gives users a euphoric
feeling. For patients who suffer from
major depressive disorders, it uplifts
the mood and allows users to enjoy
life temporarily where they would
otherwise struggle.
Some long for it to get a good night
sleep. However, these feelings don’t
come without a price.
Who Is More Likely to Get High on
Trazodone?
Overall, patients who have a history
of substance use disorder are more
likely to abuse anti-depressant drugs
like trazodone.
Also, patients using trazodone for
more than 6-8 weeks may develop a
physical dependence. Eventually,
tolerance will build up, requiring
higher doses to achieve the same
calming effect.
Trazodone street users or recreational
users are also at risk, as they usually
combine this drug with other
medications or alcohol.
Recreational Use of Trazodone and
Addiction.
Trazadone recreational use can create
a sense of calmness and pleasure
that’s comparable to a morphine high.
Every person reacts differently when
they develop trazadone addiction.
Several factors will affect the severity
of addiction, including the overall
health of the user, the dosage,
duration of use, and presence of other
drugs or substances.
One is addicted to trazodone if he or
she is reluctant to stop taking the
drug, even when continued use
proves to be detrimental to his or her
health.

He or she will also present with
trazodone addiction symptoms like
headaches, dizziness, nausea, dry
mouth, muscle pain, sweating,
numbness, confusion, or trazodone
hallucinations.
Treatment at an accredited facility is
highly recommended for
detoxification in order for it to be
effective.
Doctors and nurses will work closely
with patients to reduce the dosage
over time, safely transitioning the
patient off trazodone and minimizing
the intensity of the side effects.
After medical treatment, one may
seek continuous help from other
forms of therapies. Many find solace
in enrolling in a Christ-based
recovery center like Haven House.
