> Ok understand your point Lou. The psychiatrist I`m seeing hasn't allowed me to do this, and I`m sure, since I am now on trazodone he wont allow me. I was planning on asking him but wanted some experiences as to whether I should bother. He has been very responsible, I asked him for Nardil, he gave me a full run down of interactions, started me on a low dose and a slow increase in dosage. He as always encouraged me look at non medical alternatives in the long run and introduced me to mindfulness which has been extremely beneficial. Whee he first started me on amitriptyline, I had to spend a week in the hopsital and this was only so they could keep an eye on me while upping to 20mg. He wouldn't let me go any higher than 50mg. He told me trazodone isn't particularly strong on serotonin, and even less so at a dose between 100 and 150, which turned out to be consistent with many studies etc I found on the internet.

You wrote,[...I feel that taking 20 mg of amitriptyline would present no danger at all..].
In your case, the combination could cause death. And if you felt that the Earth was flat, would it be true that the earth is flat?
If you have some research showing what you claim that you found on the internet, then post it here now. If not, the post a retraction of your advice that innocent children could act on here because the psychiatrist here allows you to post such without a citation when asked. And those children could be killed by the combination . Who will have their blood upon them?
