Hello Shirleywerley and welcome to this community. It's good that you have been to see your GP and have received some good advice.
Has your GP recommended reducing your dose gradually over several weeks - or longer?
As I am sure you will have read it is not wise to stop taking amitriptyline suddenly.
Our members will share their personal experience with you.
Please let us know how you are getting on.
