Brief Answer:
There is no serious interaction between the prescribed agents.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

Amitriptyline can increase the effect of insulin and metformin but it is minor and non significant interaction. Other than this to my knowledge this is fine. Doctors will prescribe the drugs only if they are useful to the patient.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
