I've been on the Effexor + trazodone combo. The thing about trazodone is, though, that you don't get antidepressant effects unless you take a huge dose, usually 400mg or more. The only thing lower doses of trazodone are really good for is sleep. I found Effexor to be more effective for my anxiety than my depression. I never went higher than 150mg, and it could be that you need more than that to get the norepinephrine effect that helps with depression.
