According : According to bailey's atlas of head and neck surgery, none of the medications that you listed are known for causing problems with taste and smell. Your husband should see an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor) for evaluation of this problem.

No sense of taste: Could be excess dryness if trazodone dose is high. Consult with his prescribing doctor.
