I have been taking Amitriptyline for about 8 years now. I was given this drug to alleviate the pain neuralgia was causing. How do I wean myself off this drug?

Hi Poodle.
I think you should ask Dr about weaning yourself off them, as with any medication. Why do you want to come off it, is it not helping anymore ?. Whatever the reason still talk to your Dr.
Take care 🤗x
Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.
Dont try to come off it yourself hun you will really withdraw and that can be worse. Are you onboard with a Rheumatologist or neurologist? maybe ask to be and discuss alternatives without having withdrawal.
Hello TTPoodle
Unfortunately I feel nobody here is qualified to answer you question and this can only come from your qualified healthcare professionals, as you need to be advised by someone qualified to do so. Therefore I intend to switch off the replies to this post. Members can provide experiences of the medication if they are taking it but are unable to give advice in relation to medication in this way sorry.
I hope you understand and continue to post to speak to others about living with Fibro
