Brief Answer:
no significant drug interactions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

Prazosin, zopiclone and trazodone has no significant interactions.

But there is slight risk of lowering of blood pressure as both prazosin and trazodone lower BP. This can cause drowsiness.

Please take adequate amount of fluids orally with these drugs. Avoid heavy machinery work and driving immediately after taking these drugs.

Please do keep your doctor informed about this.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
