Can I take Amitriptyline and Tramadol together?

Por qué sucede esto

Both amitriptyline and tramadol increase the levels of a chemical called serotonin in the brain. If levels get too high, it causes serotonin syndrome. Furthermore, both drugs lower the 'seizure threshold', making a fit more likely. Tramadol is also broken down by the same liver enzymes that amitriptyline uses, which can lead to higher levels of the drugs in your system.

You should only take these two medicines together if they have been specifically prescribed by a doctor who is aware you are taking both. Seek immediate medical help if you experience extreme agitation, hallucinations, a very fast heartbeat, high fever, muscle twitching, or shivering. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this combination affects you.
