Brief Answer:
Replace one of the 2 antidepressant drug you are having
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Trazodone the antidepressant that he is having causes loss of interest in sex, depression, weakness or fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness or loss of balance and confusion.
The other antidepressant Fluoxetine causes pain, weakness, yawning, tired feeling, tremors or shaking, feeling anxious or nervous.
I will advise you to consult your doctor and replace one of the antidepressant with something new which has less side effects.
