Can Trazadone Be Taken While On Ambien?

I take paxel for depression,clonozapan for anxiety.recently I replaced ambian for insomnia with trazadone ,which is an antidepressant. I was feeling very chatty and unfocused.Should I be taking two antidepressants? My doctor said yes,the trazadone is for the insomnia and it would be better to stop the ambian.there is definitely conflict with combination of the trazadone and the panel.What do you recommends?

you can stop ambien if you get enough sleep with trazodone. Trazodone can be continued for its antidepressant effects.
