can most certainly take Trazodone--it has a different mechanism of action than SSRIs--theoretically, if you were taking therapeutic doses of each you could possibly experience serotonin syndrome but you will be taking a very small dose (sub-therapeutic)of trazodone. If for some reason it does not work you can stop it abruptly--no tolerance or dependence. I used it regularly and then PRN for years with a SSRI.
You might also consider Seroquel prn (low dose) at bedtime
