Koufman writes about taking two drugs:
Treatment Side Bar: Amitriptyline and gabapentin seem to work together better that either does separately. Some (few) patients do well an amitriptyline alone, but more often than not, I recommend a small dose of amitriptyline while slowly titrating the gabapentin up to an effective dose.

Thank you. I will ask my doctor about using the two medications together.
