Sedation: You should discuss your complete medical history, including medications, with the surgeon performing the procedure. This will help prevent interactions between medications and will allow your surgeon to use the proper dosages and meds for your procedure.

IV sedation: With the profound local anesthesia and IV sedation you will have no recall of the events of the dental treatment or experience any pain. In your case IV sedation is recommended. Best of luck and do not stop your Prozac (fluoxetine) and amitriptyline.
