Whats the worst that can happen in terms of adverse and dangerous effects if I take these 2 together ?
I like the idea and have seen sporadic posts here about the combo. Im currently on a low dose of nort (50mg) for sleep and migraines.

I guess it depends on the doses of both if both low I guess okay. Phillipa

You could find more info from the dr. who "invented" this on the psychotropical website.

I was thinking more of cardiotoxity dangers.
Not sure if the potential is worth the risks ? the D. on that website says hes treated thousands with that combo. My GP wouldn't dream of it.I wonder how many de from combos like this that we dont hear about.

I like the combo. I don't think you would have anything too worry about, especially with your nort on the low side.

Very little in the way of dangerous interactions..... a usual dose would be say 50mg of Zoloft and 75mg of Nortriptyline.
It should only be taken under your doctors supervision though.
