Hi Declan,
>Could/would you take 10mg amitriptyline (with 10mg Parnate) for sleep?
Surmontil (trimipramine) would be safer. Amitriptyline inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and can cause the serotonin syndrome when combined with Parnate. Nevertheless, some people combine them with good effect.
>You reckon Zolpidem would be better?
Probably less side effects. Some risk of dependence.
Low-dose trazodone was the traditional choice for MAOI insomnia.
Kind regards
~Ed
