5-HTP and Amitriptyline questions

Hello

I have just started 5 htp for sleep - which it is working very well for. I'm on a very low dose of oral Amitriptyline (2.5 mg a day). I'm tapering off Amitriptyline super slowly - VERY long story! I know you're not meant to take them together, but would this very low dose have an effect or interaction? I ask as I have dry eyes and my eyes have been VERY sore since starting 5 htp 5 days ago.

Also, if anyone else had this extreme sore eyes reaction - did it wear off eventually or did you have to give up?

Thank you
