It is not advised to add another antidepressant to Elavil (Nortriptyline) due to the increased risk of Serotonin Syndrome, sedation, or confusion, esp at your age. A few options: (1) switch to Lyrica (recommended); (2) switch to Neurontin; or (3) reduce Elavil dose to 10 mg.

As already mentioned, your best outcome would involve switching medications. Would not recommend any of your listed medications for someone at age 83. Drugs such as Lyrica, Cymbalta, or Neurontin will likely work better with fewer adverse effects.
