As for adding trazodone to a SSRI/SNRI, I'm sure you are aware of the concern over this type of combination causing serotonin syndrome. However, doctors used to add trazodone to MAOIs to treat insomnia. I am not too crazy about this idea. I once had a weird reaction when adding trazodone to a powerful MAO-A inhibitor (clorgyline) to treat drug-induced insomnia. Strangely, it affected my walking gait. I could barely get my legs to move to get me walking. There was no rigidity, but my legs would not do what my mind was telling them. Of course, I was more fascinated than scared. I smiled and chuckled the whole time. It wore off within an hour.
You know the drill. There are no guarantees that you would have a similar reaction. However, trazodone has the reputation of being relatively ineffective for depression.
