Giving up the Sertraline

[Frotbanana]

From everything I've read Sertraline isn't that great for pain. Since my GP put it for depression I think it is not worth taking. I am not depressed and my pain is worse. Thank goodness I've not been taking it for long so think I don't need to wean off them. (Only three nights). Amitriptyline here I come!!!

Good that you are now on different meds lets hope you feel better my GP dropped my amitriptyline to 1 a night i was on 3 but to be honest it made no difference taking 1 or 3 so dropped it i dont know so many meds floating about but still no pain free day love to you Diddle x

I have been on amitriptylene for many years now since I was diagnosed that I have FMS/CFS I am not sure whether this is having any affect now as I still suffer chronic pain and often spend sleepless or restless nights...I often feel like I have been trampled on by a herd of wild elephants

Sorry to hear about meds not working at all. There must be something out there you could try. What a pain...not sleeping just makes you feel even worse! Hope you find something and soon for you both. x
