I have some on hand that was prescribed by my doctor. I thought this was a very usefull drug for PWP's. Hello Lanier, I'm sure Amitriptyline belongs on the list. The combination with levodopa can give problems. As with all the meds on the list, they are there NOT because it's SURE it will give problems for PWP, but because there is a significant CHANCE that there will be problems for a lot of PWP when they use a combination with listed meds. The purpose of the list is a serious warning that you need to pay attention. Some combinations almost always give problems with all PD-meds, other combinations only give problems with one specific PD-med. Hans.
