I did not find an interaction on a reliable medical website. Secondly Amitriptyline is not a sleep aid, consider tylenol pm or melatonin over the counter. feel free to consult with your doctor. feel free to email me with any more questions

I do not believe it is safe to use both medications at once. My mother was on a seizure medication and was told not to take sleep aids. Always be sure to ask your doctor first, the drugs affect is different for every one.

It doesn't sound like a good idea according to the site below...elavil is heavy stuff. Check with a dr. first for sure.

You can look up drug interactions on a few websites. Just type it in the search and you'll find it easily.

it might be okay, but you really need to call a pharmacist or a health line to ask that question.

You should talk to your Dr and Pharmacist.
