Oversedating: It is not a good idea to combine sedating medications. The trazadone was given to help you sleep and taking additional 4 Benadryl (diphenhydramine) which I assume is 100mg will add too much extra sedation on top. If the side effects of trazadone are bothersome I recommend discussing other options with your doctor instead of taking a lot of other medications to mask symptoms.
