‘Little evidence’ whether or not most antidepressants work for chronic pain
Last year, I took a fairly low dose of
Amitriptyline
for the effects of shingles - primarily pain. I think it helped a bit - and it definitely seemed to help me sleep. But the side effects were unpleasant. (Tiredness, especially in the morning. Dry mouth.)

Any experiences of >90mg doses of Amitriptyline for fibro pain?
I feel like my nerve and joint pain is 'breaking through' the
amitriptyline
. Does anyone have experience of being on more than 90mg a day, and was the increase effective? I'm not sure if I should look to increase or switch.

Duloxetine - Lack of Motivation
Opiates and NSAID's don't even make a dent in the pain, and I'm very allergic to
Amitriptyline
, so Duloxetine is really the last chance saloon in terms of sourcing medication for pain management, and I have been on 60mg now for about 2 months.

Currently I'm taking
amitriptyline
each night dose keeps being increased but I remain in pain. Is it better to now try something different? Thanks

What pain relief do you use?
Does anyone use
Amitriptyline
? Thinking it might help with the nerve pain up and down my legs? The only real relief I get is from a scorching hot bath and my dreamland heat pad. Thank you xx

NDT Armour dosing
Insomnia is one of my worse symptoms, I take 20mg of
amitriptyline
which has worked well for the last year, I sleep 12-7am. Since the latest Armour dose increase my insomnia has worsened and I’m wondering if it’s the timing of my afternoon dose. I usually take it around 2pm.

Falling asleep troubles getting me down
I’ve taken sleeping tablets for a few years (low dose
Amitriptyline
) and gawd that helped massively resulting in a good 7hours sleep from midnight. I’m titrating NDT Armour and in January started sleeping 8-9hours a night. I feel good for it and I even look better in my face.

Amitriptyline interaction with Levothyroxine
I have also been prescribed
Amitriptyline
10mg, which I am concerned will counteract the new reduction in my Levothyroxine mediation. Can anyone help? Thanks 😊

Postherpetic neuralgia - Axsain capsaicin
Couldn't cope with the side effects of
amitriptyline
. Really didn't want any systemic medicine if I could avoid. Asked for, and got, Axsain 0.075% capsaicin cream. Once I realised it can take a few weeks to get going, and it needs to be applied regardless any pain, it has been so, so helpful.

Coping with unexplained flare ups
It's strange it's like my medication (
amitriptyline
) has almost just stopped working, or there is some other random change I haven't noticed. How does everyone else cope when this happens? It's hard to not feel very depressed just as I had a short time of getting my life back.

Migraine link?
My partner has had migraine for years and when we got together he was on 80 mg of
amitriptyline
a day and still had attacks where he ended up taking a triptan. He is now off the
amitriptyline
and no worse. He is constantly 'heading off' attacks with a cold cloth and Anadin.

Duloxetine
My consultant started
Amitriptyline
two years ago but I've only ever been able to tolerate 5mg which is a kind of nothing dose. I've been through and done all the FODMAP diet and still really stick to that as things are so bad.

Possible flare
I have spoken to doctor asking if I should increase steroids who advised me to stay on 8mg as pain is not around temporals and to increase
amitriptyline
to 20mg, which has not helped with pain which is around parietal part of skull.

Carol singing and earplugs - update
The doctor has increased the
amitriptyline
that I take to see if that helps with the anxiety. I explained what I thought had made the tinnitus worse - Carol singing with ear plugs- but he did not think that would happen.?

Amitriptyline: could abdominal pain be a side effect?
I have been prescribed
Amitriptyline
to reduce the neuropathic pain in my left leg as I was refused surgery to restore the circulation to my legs, on grounds of an unacceptable risk level.

Any suggestions?
The consultant mentioned duloxetine, pregabalin, and
amitriptyline
. The first two are not advised if you have a heart condition, which I have and the last one is not advisable for anyone over 65, I am 68. I tried Gabapentin (300mg, twice a day) but had a very severe reaction.
