Triavil/Elavil/Celex: Triavil contains Amitriptyline & perphenazine. If u use all 3, u r combining 3 antidepressants at same time, 2 of which are the same medication. I would not advise it, instead talk to your prescribing doctor.

Polypharmacy: With these medications, you are essentially receiving 30 mg of amitriptylene (a tricyclic antidepressant) 2 mg of trilafon (perphenazine) (an antipsychotic), as well as 20 mg Celexa (an ssri antidepressant). I would be cautious about sleepiness with them, and possible constipation. I also don't know the extent of your case, and cannot comment on the need for an antipsychotic.

Were these meds all: prescribed together? Triavil is a combination medication of amitriptyline & perphenazine. So I don't understand why Triavil and amitriptyline are being prescribed toether? I would sit down with your physician or your pharmacist to get handle on this.
