Trazodone is not FDA-approved for any anxiety disorder, but it is sometimes prescribed off-label, particularly when anxiety and sleep disruption or depression coexist. Its sedating and serotonergic properties may help with some anxiety symptoms, though it is not typically a first-line anxiety treatment the way SSRIs, SNRIs, or buspirone often are.
Some prescribers use low-dose trazodone specifically at night for anxiety-related insomnia, while managing daytime anxiety symptoms with a different, more anxiety-specific medication. This is an individualized decision that depends on your full symptom picture.
