Hi & Welcome.
Yes, taken together it may result in harmful effects.

Taking Clonazepam together with Trazodone may increase side effects such as excessive drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.

This combination may also cause impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination which may result in falls and sometime harmful injuries.

You must avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machineries.

Consult your treating doctor if you do not wish to take it, so that he can prescribe an alternate effective but a safer medication for the sleep disturbances.

Hope this will help you.
