In reply to Nardil, Trazodone and Amitriptyline, posted by David1973 on August 18, 2016, at 16:57:17
> Hi All, was hoping for some advice as to my current medication. I have been on Nardil 75mg for a good while now and recently have been prescribed 150mg Trazodone for sleep. I`m happy this combo is relatively safe. Before I started on Trazodone, I was taking 20-50mg of amitriptyline for pain but came off it a few weeks back before I started trazodone as I didnt think it was doing much for the pain, but the pain has unfortunately come back. So I was going to add 20mg of amitriptyline as well, otherwise I may have to up my use of Dihydrocodeine which I dont want to do due to the side effects. I`m thinking such a low dose isn't going to interact much with the nardil and trazodone. Has anyone been on a similar regime? Just wanted some experiences of it before I go to my psychiatrist and tell him plans.

The combination of the drugs that you take could cause serotonin syndrome that could be fatal. And if the psychiatrist adds amitriptyline to the combination, then it is a greater risk for death via serotonin syndrome.
But it is much worse than that. For the combination of the drugs if they don't kill you could induce life-ruining conditions and addiction.
The psychiatrist that could do this to you could admit that the drugs actions as to how they do what they do are unknown and that throwing mud on a wall could allow some to stick. In your case, death could come before the mud sticks.
But the worse thing here is that the psychiatrist here allows this to stand as being supportive by you taking the combination of the drugs. This could be a promotion of death, for he does not intercede to warn readers of the potential of death. Readers could think that he is validating the use of the combination of drugs that could kill. It becomes a testimonial to some readers which is part of advertising propaganda. The tobacco companies used this tactic for years causing millions to suffer a horrible death by them. When will they ever learn.
