This is so strange. My GP is taking me off Gaberpentin and starting me on Amytriptiline for pain associated with sciatica. I have just been reading the pros and cons of this drug. I was surprised to see your comments. I must now find your original posting and get comments.

Amytriotiline is great for me... But excess sweating is the down side.

Thanks for info. I was starting to think it was my age lol

Ask for Oxybutynin. It's really for bed wetting! But it is working for me after only 5 days! Brilliant!

I would ask your physician to try you on pregablin rather than Amytriptiline,it is related to gabapentin but far far better but exspensive,that's the route I took,all the best Steve.

We are going to try it next year. Playing around with other meds first. But taking Oxybutynin now and sweating stopped - just about!

That might explain my Husbands continued 'hot flushes' which he gets frequently.

Well after one month of 5mg twice a day of using Oxybutynin for the sweating, it has stopped working..

My daughter was on Amytriptiline for a few months until her paediatrician suggested Nortriptyline instead as it has fewer side-effects.
