This isn't a hard and fast thing-- I got serotonin syndrome with a 50 mg dose of trazadone-- with an Maoi. So it can happen.
It probably wouldn't happen. However, my pdoc, who's very careful, told me it to be aware of the possible interaction-- because I have a high sensitivity to serotonin drugs--and immediately told me to stop.
To be sure, I was taking a high dose of the Maoi, and these interactions can be dose-related.
But, while it's generally safe enough to give it a try, trazadone isn't completely safe with Maois.
