Amitriptyline update

Amitriptyline update, you was all correct and the bloody stuff made my RLS/PLMD Worse. Also didn't help my spinal pain at all. My GP has recommended Pregabalin to battle both RLS and Spine pain and my question is does anyone have success with Pregabalin with RLSAmitriptyline update, you was all correct and the bloody stuff made my RLS/PLMD Worse.

Amitriptyline

Has anyone tried Amitriptyline for sciatica? I was taking 60mg at night. It helped me sleep but did nothing for the pain. I can't see the point of taking a drug as a sleeping pill so have tried to reduce the dosage gradually. I'm now down to 25mg over a couple of weeks.Has anyone tried Amitriptyline for sciatica?

Dry mouth - amitriptyline

I've been prescribed amitriptyline. I have been taking it for about a week and have such a dry mouth. I know this is one of the side effects, but does it wear off?

Your thoughts on amitriptyline, if you have already been prescribed this medication

I have seen numerous comments and sites suggesting that amitriptyline is good for not just depression, but also for pain/nerve pain and or relating to ibs pain. I've only ever taken citalopram 10mg which has not done much for my ibs pain and thinking about switching to amitriptyline.I have seen numerous comments and sites suggesting that amitriptyline is good for not just depression, but also for pain/nerve pain and or relating to ibs pain.
