like zzzquil
Brief Answer:
Not Advisable
Detailed Answer:
The active ingredient in zzzquil is diphenhydramine, a antihistaminic which has a sedation potential .
Trazodone is an antidepressant of the serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI) class. It is a phenylpiperazine compound. Trazodone also has anti-anxiety (anxiolytic) and sleep-inducing (hypnotic) effects.
As both the agents have sleep inducing properties, I will advise you to stick to your prescription medicine of Trazodone , Combining two drugs with the same effect can lead to unpredictable response and undesirable side effects.
Thanks.
