Trouble is amitriptyline is still in your system for a long time after stopping it!

It isn't a on/off drug because anything that takes a time to owrk/build up like that is mean't to do lives in the storage layers.

It took me almost 3 months to build up to 3 Gabapentin 3 times a day but it was well worth it. Last week I had a terrible afternoon with sharp pains in my legs and back - I had forgotten my mid day dose. Good luck, I hope it works as well for you x
