Adalata LA

[Cammeronuk2]

Hi all, is anyone else on this ?. My doctor put me on these along with Amitriptyline for my headaches. I have only just started to take these this week and they seem to be helping and I don't have cold hands as much. My doctor won't sent me to the hospital yet as I don't get the swelling in my hands but I have to go back in 3 weeks time for a check up and to see how they have worked.

Adalat LA is the trade name for nifedipine. It is the drug for Raynaud's disease and improves the circulation of the blood. I have been on it for many, many years. You start slowly to get you used to it and then it may get increased.

Amitriptyne is given in a very small dose for pain that originates in the brain. In large doses it treats depression. I am on a small dose for pain. It diminishes it but does not get rid of it.

HI there. I take both. Adalat for circulation and Amitriptyline for pain control. I find Adalat helps a lot. I do believe Amitriptyline helps with the pain along with other pain relieving drugs. My pains are 24/7 and all the meds only take the edge off and better than nothing.

Keep taking the meds as long as they are beneficial to yourself. Good luck!
