> I dont think there would be any issue combining say 100mg of Elavil with the Nardil, the only issue might be some low blood pressure (but i think you said your BP is normaly high?)

> What dose of amitriptyline do you need to get a decent nights sleep?Usually I need 25 - 50mg of elavil to sleep, but some nights I need up to 100mg. I took 25mg about an hour ago; i know, prob a dumb thing to do since i'd already taken my 25 of nortryp. but meanwhile a friend has angered me and i had to have a smoke so now i'll prob never sleep regardless. i actually just took a LOT of gabapentin hoping that helps. i do dumb things like that and get myself in trouble sometimes. but you have no idea how i hate not being able to sleep. but don't worry; i know all the extra gabapentin won't hurrt me; i did the same thing yesterday after hubby and i had a huge fight - and i drank an entire bottle of wine too. white of course, i'm not THAT stupid. but even so i had problems sleeping. i'm starting to think that insomnia is my bigggest problem now, not depression, not anxiety, but insomnia. and anger. i don't deal well with it, obviously. foor one thing it's making me rant to you and i'm very sorry about that. i will shut up now. i appreciate you listening (if you made it this far lol)
