Hi, Linkadge.

That's a big WOW.

My concern with trazodone is that it is metabolized into mCPP. mCPP is an agonist at 5-HT2a/c postsynaptic receptors. In addition, mCPP is a NE-alpha2 antagonist.


mCPP is not a good guy. It produces de novo anxiety or exacerbates existing anxiety. It makes OCD worse. It can make depression worse.
