Amitriptyline drops numb mouth?

[swimsalot]

I was just prescribed Amitriptyline in an oral liquid form. I was told to take three drops and I did so by placing them in a spoon and taking them that way. The taste was awful and instantly my mouth and throat went numb and dry. Is this normal?

Hi swimalot try looking at the leaflet that comes with it and see if there are any side effects I myself take amitriptalene but in tablet the only thing is if the tablet sticks to my tongue I do get a stinging sensation for a short while! If it is becoming a real problem for you ask if your doctor can give you it in tablet form! I wish you all the best and hope things get better for you David

Hi, thanks! Unfortunately the leaflet is in Italian and my knowledge of italian is limited to what I need as an art historian.
