Depression:
_Adults: _
Initially 150mg/day in divided doses after food or as a single dose on
retiring.
This may be increased up to 300mg/day in a single or divided doses.
The major portion of a divided dose
to be taken on retiring. The dose may be further increased to
600mg/day in divided doses in hospitalised
patients.
_Elderly: _
For very elderly or frail patients the recommended initial starting
dose is reduced to 100mg/day given in
divided doses or as a single night-time dose (see section 4.4). This
may be incrementally increased, under
supervision, according to efficacy and tolerance. In general, single
doses above 100 mg should be avoided
in these patients. It is unlikely that 300mg/day will be exceeded.
_Children: _

Trazodone in children below the age of 18
