Alpha adrenergic receptor blockade. This is usually more relevant at higher doses. Trazodone is well known for the side effect of priapism due to this MOA.
It would be helpful if you listed some of the symptoms and problems you are having rather than just lab values. We need to know what is bothering you and not chase numbers.
10 mcg is too low. Standard starting dose is 25 mcg and can be titrated up > 100 mcg. Too bad you didn't check your RT3 as you would have seen that it was elevated. You don't have hypothyroidism but now your T3 dose will shut down your own thyroid production with inadequate replacement and drive...
