I have been taking Amitriptyline (20mg) on and off for several months to help me sleep but not recently. I started on Citalopram (20mg) a week ago and my sleep has been worse. Is it ok to take the Citalopram a.m. and Amitriptyline p.m. does anyone know?

I dont see any serious problems with them, I take amytriptiline and it has helped me to sleep greatly.But since you are having problems you must see your Doctor as soon as possible. If you look in the very helpful list up above in the blue part Drugs A to Z it says that you again must see your Doctor. It sounds like you may just need a dosage adjustment or stop one. Talk to your Doctor and tell him what you wrote down here. Be very specific and describe all the symptoms, if your Doctor rushes you tell him to stop and LISTEN! Or get Another Doctor that will listen. You are important. You must think that way to survive. I Know I am repeating myself but I had a long fight with myself and medical people especially in the last 5 years due to a car accident not my fault but that doesn't matter one whit now cause now I am permanently disabled.

Thank you i appreciate your response! I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are doing OK? I am now on 40mg Citalopram and i've asked my Dr for more sleeping tablets (she previously prescribed me Zopiclone), but she refuses to give me more due to a concern of addiction. I would happily take the Amitryptyline I have if i was sure it was relatively safe? Do you know?
I am Taking a few things but I am on amitripyline 10 mgs a night and I notice a nice difference. I dont care about addiction anymore. In pain management they stress dependancy not addiction. I mean why suffer if there is something to help... Thank you for your kind answer and the best you also B
