Erythema multiforme associated with trazodone therapy: case report.
A 63-year-old woman with treatment-resistant depression was started on trazodone and subsequently developed erythema multiforme (EM), with lesions predominant on the distal parts of the limbs and involvement of the hands and feet, as well as her palms and soles. The patient's treatment course and subsequent remission are described. It is suggested that trazodone therapy be discontinued immediately upon notice of EM. This patient was also taking lithium, which has not been implicated in erythema multiforme.
