Generic Desyrel

Desyrel® (trazodone hydrochloride) is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of depression (also known as major depression or clinical depression). Although it is not approved to treat insomnia, it is often used in an "off-label" fashion for this use.
 
Desyrel was first manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. However, the patent has expired, and the drug is now available in generic form. In fact, because brand-name Desyrel is no longer available, generic Desyrel is the only option.
