Amitriptyline

Is anyone taking amitriptyline for pain relief and how much who also has afib

[Jan101]

I take 2 10mg of amitriptyline per night to help with my pain and it also helps me to sleep 😴. However I am thinking about reducing them because I feel very tired during the day. Take good care of yourself. Love and hugs 🤗🤗🌹🌹😘😘

[Tmax71 in reply to Kingsley09]

I used to take 10mg twice a day then doctor increased the dose. Hope you feel better soon.

The way things are I will probably try pregabalin again 75 mg at night but even on that if I take it for more than two consecutive nights I need a break as it’s great for my nerve pain but makes my muscles ache so I’m going to try two nights on and one off and see if that helps would rather not take it but I need something and at least it doesn’t seem to effect my heart thanks for writing back

[Spoiler]

I tried it several years ago before diagnosed with afib and it made my heart gallop, I thought it was my pvc’s it caused, but looking back it may have been afib as well. My heart has always been sensitive, caffiene etc. alcohol, ibuprofen

I was prescribed Amitriptyline by a Gastroenterologist but my Cardiologist immediately reversed that decision because of the negative interaction with Flecainide.
