Hello,
Both trazodone and seroquel are antidepressants. Neither of the two drugs causes insomnia but when taken together, these two drugs interact and can increase the risk of irregular heart rhythm which may be serious and that might be the reason why you were feeling agitated.
I'd suggest consulting your prescribing doctor for a review.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
