Hello,
While trazodone is common uses for sleep it's not used lightly. It is an antidepressant, and among the medications, you mention I already see another antidepressant also commonly used for sleep mirtazapine. So he can't take them both, not without his doctors prescription.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
