Tricyclic antidepressants , amitriptyline in particular, delay the need for dopaminergic therapy in early Parkinson’s disease.

Coming off Amitriptyline

I have been on amitriptyline for the past 12 years to help with fibro and insomnia. My dose was 10 mgs. I have never felt well. Always groggy but put up with it as I had tried a lot of other drugs but could not tolerate them.

Carbimazole / Shingles / Amitriptyline

Doctor suggested Amitriptyline for nerve pain.   I know it can be used for migraines & I’ve issues with being stuck on propranolol for migraines.  I asked Doctor if could cause same issue & doctor just said see how I go & can try later if necessary.   Any thoughts or advice welcome.

Amitriptyline interaction with Levothyroxine

I have also been prescribed Amitriptyline 10mg, which I am concerned will counteract the new reduction in my Levothyroxine mediation. Can anyone help? Thanks 😊

Amitriptyline and depression

I've now realised that's exactly what the Amitriptyline did! Has anyone else had this same affect? 🤔

Migraine link?

My partner has had migraine for years and when we got together he was on 80 mg of amitriptyline a day and still had attacks where he ended up taking a triptan. He is now off the amitriptyline and no worse. He is constantly 'heading off' attacks with a cold cloth and Anadin.

lower back pain

I was also prescribed amitriptyline by GP to help with tingling sensation in my head. I have started with lower right back pain and have trouble getting from sitting to standing position. Just wondering if tapering would cause back pain.

TIGHT NECK MUSCLES AND DIZZINESS

My GP prescribed amitriptyline and co-codamol which did help the pain but made me feel terrible. I then read that the two should not be taken together. Now I am just taking 10mg of amitriptyline nightly although I think this is causing me to be more lightheaded.

Migraine Medication

I have tried amitriptyline, nortriptyline, topirimate etc but can't tolerate these drugs. I now use rizatriptan when the migraine starts and it does stop it though it often comes back and I have to take a second and sometimes a third dose over three days.

imodium and buscopan

(I am also on Amitriptyline 10mg) would all these together be too much? I seem to manage the diarrhea but recently I am getting more cramps too which don’t subside. Any advice is very much appreciated :)

10mg Amitriptyline

Since I was refused zopiclone and prescribed 10mg Amitriptyline I have been sleeping like a baby. I am so so so glad that I didn’t take zopiclone as it is very addictive and does affect one’s health. Amitriptyline is, I am told, non addictive and has no side effects. It works for me.
