If trazodone does impact dopamine, it does so very slightly, and such effect is negligible. So, I would say no.
Trazodone is an agonist for the 5-HT (serotonin)-1A receptor (similar to buspirone, where it acts to reduce anxiety).
It also antagonizes (blocks) the following receptor subtypes:
- 5-HT 2A, 2B, and 2C
- alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenergic receptors
- histamine-1 receptor
