Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
There is no absolute contraindication for taking these two drugs together.There is no major interaction between them.
The only problem is that when these drugs are taken together ,the sedative effect increase and you may experience symptoms like dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating.
The ideal thing is to avoid their combination and try to have a natural sleep but if this is very difficult and you need to take Sonata due to insomnia while you are taking Elavil ,you should avoid driving ,doing activities that require alertness and concentration like operating hazardous machinery .Avoid drinking alcohol.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
