Yes!! Only been on it for just over a week now, its hasnt helped yet but made me feel really out of it:( Will be worth it if it helps. The gyne said it was nerve pain??? I had my lap 5th Sept to remove endo and in way worse pain since. Hope you're well x x

Thanks, they have me amitriptyline first and was really out of it I felt drunk every morning! Awful. They have now give me nortriptyline to see if that's better but I'm worried about taking it. I'm a teacher of early years children and my job is stressful and I can't afford to be feeling out of it but the pain is wearing me down. Hope it works for you and you start to feel better x
