A client has been prescribed amitriptyline (Elavil) for treatment of depression. The nurse teaches the client to avoid use of over-the-counter sleep aids. What is the nurse's rationale for this advice?

Using these two medications together decreases enzyme production in the pancreas, which results in pancreatitis.
