I don't have the answer to this question, but I have some advice: Many drugs can be fatal if mixed. I would only accept an answer from a doctor concerning this question. Not without consulting the prescribing physician. Both medications are used to treat depression, combining the two could result in increased side effects and alter the effect the medication has on the condition for which it was prescribed. Thats really between you and the prescribing doctor, they are 2 well used medications. High sucess rate of treating their respective illness, I would suggest if you have cocerns whether they are good together you check it out with your doctor. Tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline [e.g., Elavil], amoxapine [e.g., Asendin], clomipramine [e.g., Anafranil], desipramine [e.g., Norpramin], doxepin [e.g., Sinequan], imipramine [e.g., Tofranil], nortriptyline [e.g., Aventyl], protriptyline [e.g., Vivactil], trimipramine [e.g., Surmontil])?Taking a tricyclic antidepressant together with paroxetine may increase the risk of side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of either medicine or check blood levels of the tricyclic antidepressant. Also, taking paroxetine with amitriptyline, clomipramine, or imipramine may increase the chance that the serotonin syndrome will develop. You may want to check out things with your doctor, this doesn't mean they can't be taken together. It just means the interaction might be more adverse if they are. You might be required to keep a closer eye on what and how your medication are interaction, and reacting to you while taking them. It's a good idea to talk this over with the prescribing doctor. Elavil might be prescribed (in lower dose) for many other indication than depression. If you use Elavil to prevent migraines, as example, you can take Paxil for a depression. However, like said before, you might experiment higher side effects related to Paxil and Elavil (dry mouth, diziness, sleeping, etc..)

Can you take xanax temporarely in place of ambien for sleep?

While Xanax (alprazolam) and Ambien (zolpidem) are both used to address sleep issues, they belong to different drug classes and have different mechanisms of action. Xanax is a benzodiazepine primarily used for anxiety, while Ambien is specifically designed for short-term treatment of insomnia. Using Xanax as a substitute for Ambien may not be advisable without a doctor's guidance, as it can carry a risk of dependence and may not be as effective for sleep in the long term. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your medication regimen.
