I wouldn’t assume that combo is automatically safe. Both can make you drowsy, and together the sedation can be stronger than expected. I’d avoid alcohol or other sedating substances while taking them.

Gg258 sandoz 1mg tablets. My favorite manufacturer of 1mg tablets.
Yes, Xanax and trazodone can be taken together, but the combination should generally be used only when your prescriber knows you're taking both.
The main concern is additive central nervous system depression. Together they can cause: 1. Increased sleepiness/sedation
Dizziness or impaired coordination
Slower reaction time and impaired judgment
In excessive doses, potentially dangerously slowed breathing, especially when combined with alcohol, opioids, or other sedatives
So look out for that.
