What Is Trazodone Made Of?
UpdatedWhat is in trazodone? Is it minerals, plant derivatives, or synthesized chemicals? If so, what minerals, derivatives, or chemicals go into it?

Interesting that there were no answers. I also want to know.
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.
