Consumer:

The use of most antidepressants is associated with a risk of seizures. There have been only rare reports of convulsions, including grand mal seizures, following the administration of nefazodone or trazodone. Although a causal relationship has not been established, therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of seizures.
