Be careful: This is a mix of a tricyclic antidepressant and a selective serotonin reputable inhibitor. The most important principle is very cautious introduction and very slow escalation in dose. The potential for qtc prolongation is elevated in this scenario and an ekg might be a precaution in dose adjustments. I would be surprised if you need more than 10 mg, 20 mg or 25 mg of amitriptyline. Talk to your md.
