Serotonin sydrome is very rare, the GPs know this, especially if you're taking a small amount of at least one of the drugs.
For example, I've been on mirtazapine 15mg for 6 years, but I've also taken it at various times alongside fluoxetine, citalopram, pregabalin and duloxetine, without any issues.
Presently I'm taking 70-100mg of amitriptyline a day alongside the 15mg mirtazapine. Works great for me.
Anti-depressant combinations are quite commonly used on patients who haven't responded well to single drug therapies. Also, some are just prescribed to help you sleep (amitriptyline, mirtazapine, trazodone) at low doses.
Daily Medication for GAD: Mirtazapine 15mg
I've been prescribed citalopram and amitriptyline together before now........ a higher dose of amitriptyline too.
20mg of amitriptyline is a very low dose - given or pain or sleep only, it will have minimal effect on serotonin at that level. For treatment of depression they use it at 75 - 200mg.
