Thread: Amitriptyline with Escitalopram

    Unhappy Amitriptyline with Escitalopram

    For the past 4 years I have been taking Escitalopram 20mg with Amitriptyline 50mg. I was given the Amitriptyline because I had trouble staying asleep with the Escitalopram and found the Amitriptyline all but solved my migraine problem.

    Four years on the GP is saying this is not a good combination and I have tried lowering the Amitriptyline but the migraines have returned. My GP is now going to quiz the Pharmacist about this combination to see how dangerous it is and whether I could lower the Escitalopram instead. Any one else had this combo please?
