I currently am taking 20 mg of citalopram (which I take in the morning, used for my anxiety) but recently my doctor prescribed me 10 mg of amitriptyline (which I haven't taken yet and it's used for sleeping) anyways, what I wanted to ask was is it okay to take the 20 mg of citalopram and 10 mg of amitriptyline? Because whenever I google it, it said not to take those prescriptions together.

Dear lybrate-user, thereotical possibility of side effects due to drug interactions cannot be ruled out, but seldom does this manifest clinically at your doses. Any problems, consult your doctor.

There is no contraindication that both should not be used together but you should consult the doctor again, as why this has been added.

Simultaneously suggest you to go for counseling sessions. Or cbt. You may quickly recover like that. Take care.
