New Drug for depression

I have had a pacemaker for 22 years and feel pretty good most of the time even though I have cronic afib. I am taking warifin for anticoagulation thearpy. I gave up with rythnm control drugs and ablations (6) about three years ago. I retired about 2 years ago and I am having problems adjusting. My local doctor has prescribed amitriptylin for depression and to help me sleep. I looked it up and found it may interfere with my warifin medication. Does anyone know anything about this?I am having a problem that my local doctor would perscribes this. He knows about my pacer and anticoagulation thearpy and trades information with my cardioglist. Any comments are welcome?

Talk to your pharmacist. They are the specialist in drug interaction.

He may suggest a different med to the doctor or an adjustment in wafrin or feel in your case it won't have a significant effect.

Depression and anxiety can be caused by various reasons. Due to emotional baggage, carrier failure, stress and many more and It's quite difficult to get out of anxiety. My best friend was going through difficult times in life no medicines were working for her health. Her mother helped her with consultation she found ( http://www.martine-voyance.com/consultation/ ) online. After every session, she feels better and is now coming out of anxiety, depression.
