Hello!
I will be with you in a moment.
You may take Stemetil for short term(not more than few weeks) with Amitriptyline. They do interact with each other and there's a slightly increased risk of serotonin syndrome if both drugs are used together in high doses.
Please let me know if you have other, related queries. I will be happy to answer. Thanks.
Yes. A gap of 8-12 hours would be appropriate between both drugs.
Yes, they should ideally be taken 8-12 hours apart.
Ondansetron has better safety profile and less interaction with Amitriptyline but no combination is absolutely safe.
Yes, a gap would be safer even with Ondansetron.
You may discuss that with your doctor and see if they have other suggestions. I can't think of any anti emetic that's 100 percent risk free.
My pleasure.
