Hi everyone, long time babble reader here :)
I'm currently on prozac 10mg/day for depression. It's working quite well, however, I've been struggling with poor sleep and insomnia since I started taking it.
I've tried the Z-drugs, Trazodone, low dose Seroquel with no success. Remeron worked great for a several months, but its hypnotic power wore off. It's staying on board, as it seems to boost the Prozac... along with my usual 2 mg Klonopin.
My pdoc wants me to try elavil next (10-25 mg, not to exceed 25mg/day). I've read up on the (seemingly dangerous) liver interactions between fluoxetine and Elavil, so this cocktail scares me. I've discussed my concerns with her, but she said I should be fine.
Has anyone tried this combo? Thanks in advance :)
