A member asked:

Is it safe to take amitriptyline with xanax (alprazolam) at night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, in low doses: They will have additive sedation and you need individual guidance from a physician, but they are not inherently dangerous together.

What's a good equivalent to elavil? I have severe anxiety and slight insomnia and am prescribed 3mg of Xanax a day and 50mg of elavil at night. I've been on Xanax for years and it works for me. I've just recently been prescribed elavil and it does help me
