Nardil isn't as forgiving as Parnate when it comes to taking tertiary tricyclics like amitriptyline or imipramine. Serotonin syndrome is a possible adverse effect, although your dosage of amitriptyline is low. When I was on Nardil, I had a moderate degree of SS while taking imipramine that I don't get with desipramine or nortriptyline. You could investigate the usage of nortriptyline for pain disorders. I have heard of it being done, but I don't know the statistical rate of success. Nortriptyline probably is not as good as amitriptyline for sleep, but it is much less anticholinergic.
