Hi again,
>I at least have to be off of opiates during the day before I can return to work.........
So, you only take opioids at night?? If you really need to come off opioids, perhaps you could try taking a small dose of amitriptyline (Elavil) to help you sleep; amitriptyline is usually very sedating. Amitriptyline can also help to relieve pain. Prozac interacts with amitriptyline: it potentiates amitriptyline's effects by inhibiting its metabolism. Because of this, as little as 5mg (half a 10mg tablet) of amitriptyline (in the evening) might be helpful. *Large* doses of amitriptyline must not be combined with Prozac.
Kind regards,
Ed.
