Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how amitriptyline affects you. Avoid taking amitriptyline if you have an allergy to it, have recently taken monoamine oxide (MAO) inhibitors like selegiline (Emsam) and phenelzine (Nardil), or fluoxetine (Prozac), which may require more than 14 days before starting amitriptyline, or are taking cisapride. Amitriptyline may increase the risks of electroshock therapy (such as memory loss and confusion) when used in conjunction with it. Abnormal glucose levels: Amitriptyline has the ability to either raise or lower blood sugar levels. Glaucoma or intraocular pressure: Amitriptyline may increase the risk of urinary retention (increased pressure within the eye). Heart disease: Amitriptyline may make you more susceptible to developing heart conditions like a heart attack, arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat), and stroke. Hypersensitivity reaction: An allergic reaction to amitriptyline can occur. Prior to taking amitriptyline, patients with a diagnosis of depression should be screened for bipolar disorder. Amitriptyline may make seizures more likely. Amitriptyline has been linked to some serious side effects, such as: Increasing the risk of psychosis in people with schizophrenia; Amitriptyline can exacerbate the symptoms of schizophrenia.

Bupropion is unique and unlike other antidepressants in that its major effect is on dopamine, an effect that is not shared by the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs (for example, paroxetine [Paxil], fluoxetine [Prozac], sertraline [Zoloft]), or the tricyclic antidepressants or TCAs (for example, amitriptyline [Elavil, Endep], imipramine [Tofranil], desipramine [Norpramin]). Bupropion works by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine; an action that results in more dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine to transmit messages to other nerves. Off-label uses (non-FDA approved) for bupropion include posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), social phobia, and nerve pain (neuropathic pain).

Long acting Depressants are used medically in the control of epilepsy and of other conditions that can cause convulsions. Note: Methaqualone continues to be pharmaceutically manufactured in Mexico, trade name “Mandrax. Estazolam (Trade name “ProSom”) Point out that this is similar to alprazolam and triazolam.
In addition to the risk of depressing brain function, the use of baclofen and tricyclic antidepressants (for example, amitriptyline [Elavil, Endep], doxepin [Sinequan, Adapin]) together may cause muscle weakness. There have been cases of marked sedation when Ativan was given to patients taking the tranquilizer loxapine (Loxitane); it is unclear if there is a drug interaction, but caution should be used if Ativan and loxapine are used together. Lorazepam Ativan and all benzodiazepines accentuate the effects of other drugs that slow the brain's processes such as alcohol, barbiturates, narcotics, and tranquilizers, and the combination of Ativan and these drugs may lead to excessive sedation. Use of baclofen and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (for example, phenelzine [Nardil], tranylcypromine or [Parnate]) can result in greater depression of brain function as well as low blood pressure. Because baclofen can increase blood sugar, doses of antidiabetic drugs may need to be adjusted when baclofen is begun.
