My doctor has put me on Clonazepam for anxiety and trazodone at night for sleeping also prescribed escitalopram to deal with depression. In reading interaction information on the web it doesn't seem like I ,should be taking all these at the same time.Thoughts??

Hello,First thing i would like to tell you is that more the number of drugs, more are the side effects.Tablet clonazepam will relieve both anxiety and cause sedation. There is no use of taking trazodone which is a sedating antidepressants when you are already taking escitalopram.The guidelines for prescribing drugs for depression is to start with single antidepressant at minimum effective dose. If there is no reponse in 2weeks, then dose is increased. If still no response, than we change the drug.Please talk to your doctor about this.Thanks.
