He really should have given you information on sleep hygiene.

Trazadone can sometimes make you feel like you're head is stuffed with cotton or a hangover, heaches, etc., but moreso at larger doses. What dose did he start you at? I am sensitive to meds so I have my pdoc write smaller doses sometimes. With Trazadone, i took 50 mg and could add one if I wanted to. If your pdoc prescribed you Trazadone for anxiety, he might have given you dose larger than 50, just a guess. Which would have made you feel like crap.
Not trying to talk you in to it-but i do think Trazadone is worth trying if you've never tried the smaller dose. It is one of those tricky ones, where different doses work for different people, and it doesn't always work consistently. When it works, it can work really good, but this one I'd give about 2 weeks.
Have you had seizures with other meds? Wellbutrin is known to have a higher chance of seizures than many of the ADs. Good to be cautious, but considering that one has a higher seizure threshold, i wonder if it's also having trouble with side effects all around.
I'm also surprised to he's never added seroquel or abilify.

He's been worried ever since I had seizures on the first medication he ever gave me (Wellbutrin). It worked wonderfully and I wouldn't have gotten the seizures if he didn't raise the doasage for no reason (other than having sleep paralysis and he thought that would help).
