HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Trazodone is a tricyclic antidepressant but can also be used to help persons who have difficulty sleeping.
It is thought to be a lot less addictive that other medications. Less persons form dependence on these drugs though the risk is still present.
If you have a high tendency to become dependent on medication then, though the risk is small, you may want to look at decreasing the frequency of use or dosage.
I hope this helps
