Hi Rose. My husband takes trazodone for insomnia and it works well for him. He can't take benzos as he gets disinhibited on them. He does not, however, take MAOIs. I found this info on trazodone that might help.
Trazodone (also sold under the brand names Desyrel, Oleptro, Beneficat, Deprax, Desirel, Molipaxin, Thombran, Trazorel, Trialodine, Trittico, and Mesyrel) is an antidepressant of the serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI) class.
Because it is not known whether an interaction will occur between trazodone and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI's), administration of trazodone should be initiated very cautiously with gradual increase in dosage as required, if an MAOI is given concomitantly or has been discontinued shortly before medication with trazodone is instituted.
