Amitriptyline and AF

[Gillybean123]

Just been prescribed Amitriptyline for neck pain and lack of sleep. Just read leaflet it says do not take if you have disturbance of the heart rhythm as seen on a ECG. My doctor said they would be alright with my AF. Unsure whether to take them. Anyone else take them?

I have been on a low dose (10mg) with no adverse effects for over 8 years. This was added to my Tramadol for joint pains by Chronic Pain clinic among others. I think it may depend on the dosage given to you, however if in doubt ask another medical professional cos all I can say its fine for me where they have access to a larger amount of data for comparison!

I take 10mg at night which is a very low dose and my EP, GP and pharmacist have all said that it’s fine and safe.

Hi. I've been taking 25mg of Amitriptyline at night for 10 years and Flecnaide 100mg x 2 per day for four years without any adverse affects.
