Trazodone can contribute to memory problems. I noticed it at 50mg, worse at 100mg. My daughter experienced it also at 50mg, which made the memory problems she had with Lexapro even worse. Pdoc said he never saw memory problems with Lexapro. She would walk into a room and forget why she was there every single day, forgot what I just asked her. Fired him and got another pdoc. Stopped the Lex and memory improved.
Regarding Wellbutrin and Trazodone interaction, possible CYP2D6 inhibition?
