I'll just back up what others here have said -- see a psychiatrist. It's unrealistic to expect proper psychopharmacological treatment from a general practitioner, and in my experience, they're often reluctant to recommend a psychiatrist for reasons that I don't fully understand. So, finding a good psychiatrist falls on you, but it's worth it when you find the right one.
Re: trazadone: this really is a "knockout" drug in my experience, and isn't likely to help with much except severe insomnia. It also has to be used carefully, especially in males, for whom it has a slight risk of causing priapism (prolonged erection, which may require uncomfortable medical treatment). A psychiatrist should be able to provide much better treatment.
