Here's what I found so far:

"Trazodone hydrochloride was originally synthesized in 1966 by Palazzo and Silvestrini in the chemical laboratories of the firm Francesco Angelini. The molecule consists of a triazolopyridine ring and a phenyl piperazinylalkyi moiety.It is the first trazolopyridine derivative to be used clinically, and therefore, represents a new chemical class of antidepressant drugs. its development was a result of an organized approach rather than fortuitous discovery and was based on the hypothesis that the mechanisms responsible for physical and mental pain are the same." [1]

"Trazodone is a triazolopyridine derivative and a phenylpiperazine that is chemically related to nefazodone and etoperidone, each of which are derivatives of it." [2]

Yes, a lot of technical jargon, but it was put together (synthesized) in a lab.
