Amitriptyline and Trazodone combined

Find taking both amitriptyline and trazodone a good combination for my pain. Have been taking both now for two weeks and found a significant difference. Hope it lasts?

I've never heard of trazodone. Is it an opiate ?

Its good that you have found a combination that seems to work for you. What a confusing business it is.

Trazodone is an anti-depressant Dee. I believe it can be used to treat pain as well as I've noticed a difference already.

Taking both myself. It did not help with pain. The only thing I got was weight gain.

Hope you find the right treatment that works for you Oma.

Many of these antidepressants are used for pain even though the are not licenced to. I'm going to ask my GP about trazodone I really need a good night sleep and these spine blocks are not being done every 3 months now we are lucky if we get 1 a year

Trazodone certainly helps me to get to sleep onamission. I usually find that I become tired about half an hour to an hour after taking them at night. Good luck
