Off-label = not approved for insomnia. Please keep in mind that prescribing Trazodone for insomnia is essentially exploiting the side effect of the medication. Technically Trazodone is a mild antidepressant and is therefore not suitable for everyone. Just sayin'.

But here's the good news for MAOI people:

"Trazodone/nefazodone are, contrary to what is often said, not serotonergic antidepressants. Indeed they are 5-HT2A antagonists, which means they actually reduce serotonergic side-effects and symptoms of serotonin toxicity. Exactly the same applies to the anti-depressant efficacy-challenged twins, mirtazapine/mianserin (great sedatives), which have in fact been used to prevent symptoms of serotonin toxicity successfully in animal models of ST."
