Can I take Amitriptyline and Utrogestan together?

Por qué sucede esto

Both amitriptyline and progesterone (the active ingredient in Utrogestan) affect the central nervous system. Amitriptyline blocks certain chemicals to improve mood and pain, while progesterone has a natural 'neurosteroid' effect that promotes relaxation and sleep. When combined, their sedative properties add together (an additive pharmacodynamic effect).

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should be aware that you may feel more tired than usual. It is best to take both medications in the evening or at bedtime as prescribed. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this combination affects you. Do not drink alcohol while taking these medicines, as it will make the drowsiness much worse. If you feel excessively sleepy during the day, speak to your doctor about adjusting your dose or timing.
