Brief Answer:
You'd better not!

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

trazodone and nortriptyline taken together may cause a very serious side effect called the serotonin syndrome, which could be (potentially) fatal. This side effect won't happen in 100% of cases but if it happens it could be very serious.
So taking those drugs together should be avoided.

I hope I've helped you with my answer!

Kind Regards!
