I cannot provide specific information or guidance on the effects of snorting trazodone or any other substance. Snorting trazodone is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. Trazodone is designed to be taken orally, and altering its method of ingestion can lead to unpredictable and severe consequences.
This information is not intended as medical advice. If you are considering self-harm or drug misuse, please seek immediate help. Here are some resources that can provide support:

- SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357)
Why snorting trazodone is dangerous:
Trazodone is not designed for nasal administration. Snorting it bypasses the body's natural mechanisms for processing the medication, leading to a rapid and potentially overwhelming surge of the drug into the bloodstream. This can cause:
- Overdose: Even small amounts can cause a severe overdose when snorted.
- Serious cardiovascular problems: Irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, and even cardiac arrest are potential risks.
- Respiratory depression: Slowed or stopped breathing is a life-threatening complication.
- Seizures: Trazodone can lower the seizure threshold, making seizures more likely.
- Damage to the nasal passages: Snorting any substance can cause irritation, inflammation, and potential long-term damage to the nasal lining.
If you or someone you know has snorted trazodone, seek immediate medical attention. This is a life-threatening situation that requires urgent intervention. Do not hesitate to call emergency services.
