trazadone was a bad choice

I usually take a low dose of ativan to help me sleep and last night I was out so took about 15 mg of my boyfriend's Trazadone. I woke up Saturday morning to a familiar type of torture.  Extreme agitation and anxiety.  It runs up my spin and into my brain. This is the devil inside me, a fried hypersensitivity that lights up when triggered by the wrong thing.  That tends to happen with antidepressants, some are worse than others.  I'm noticing serotonin antagonists are not a good thing for me.  Seroquel, Vibryd, and now Trazadone have caused this same reaction, all antagonists of certain serotonin receptors.  Trazadone blocks or antagonizes the 5HT2A receptor. I believe when I took the Staphysagria I damaged some of my receptor cites. It's important when find a medication I don't activate the wrong one.

It's extremely painful. I woke up at 7 and had to run outside and weep.  What has happened to me?  I used to be able to take these things and they were helpful.  It causes great despair.  And I need help for my depression so it feels like a trap.  What is the answer?
