Hi im new here so if this is the wrong form im sorry.
Ive been taking 100 milligrams amitriptyline at night for nerve pain for awile now. I also have neck and back pain so sometimes i need to take a narcotic painkiller. I usually take either codeine or oxycodone for the pain and ive had absolutly no problems with drug interactions.
The past few days i came into possesion of some demerol. I havent had this drug in quite some time so i was eager to try it out. When i first took it years ago i got the best euphoria ive ever gotten off a opiate. I loved the stuff.
Yesterday i decided to try it out. I hadent taken any painkillers whatsoever in the 4 or 5 days prior to this. I took 2 50 mg pills and instead of getting the usual nice warm opiate feel i started to feel very nervous and irritable. About an hour after ingesting the pills i started feelling very weird and angry for no reason.
My question is this. Since demerol is somewhat of a atypical opioid could it have interacted badly with the amitriptyline? What would be the specific reason this drug interacted badly with it? None of the other opiates ive had have given me this reaction. I couldnt find anything specific about the interaction between tricyclics and demerol besides the usual such as increased sedation. thanks in advance.
