Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Trazodone is sedative antidepressant and it would help in your son's case. I think, he has underline depression and if he tries to leave trazodone, his depressive symptoms could increase. Try to consult a psychiatrist for proper help and evaluation. He needs CBT also, so consult a psychologist.

Thanks
