My findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions that apply to Lexamil & Trazodone. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of:

"Talk to your doctor before using lexamil (escitalopram) together with trazodone. Combining these medications can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome, which may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, blurred vision, muscle spasm or stiffness, tremor, incoordination, stomach cramp, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms while taking the medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor."

Based on that information and what you've been experiencing, it may be wise to talk to your doctor about safer dosing protocols, so as to avoid most of the side effects associated with this interaction.

I hope this info helps!
