Amitriptyline and glaucoma

Has anybody got glaucoma and taking amitriptyline? I have only been prescribed amitriptyline 10mg and keep getting told that I should not be taking this if I have glaucoma as it raises eye pressure. Has anybody else been told this if they have glaucoma? My Consultant does not seem to really know!Has anybody got glaucoma and taking amitriptyline?

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.

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?

Amitriptyline & suicidal thoughts

I take amitriptyline for my chronic migraines and unfortunately haven’t found any medication that works as effectively as this so I can’t stop taking it and have exhausted all other options of medication to take at the moment so I’m back on this.I take amitriptyline for my chronic migraines and unfortunately haven’t found any medication that works as effectively as this so I can’t stop taking it and have exhausted all other options of medication to take at the moment so I’m back on this.

Let's talk about temper and nerves....anyone experiencing problems in the evening while on Prednisone and Amitriptyline?

I'm wondering if I should reduce/increase the amitriptyline. Perhaps this is still prednisone doing a job on my mental processes. Thanks all!I'm wondering if I should reduce/increase the amitriptyline. Perhaps this is still prednisone doing a job on my mental processes. Thanks all!

Amitriptyline

Is anyone here on this? I’m having some sleep issues and my sister gave me low dose (10mg) to try !! I know, not the best idea but only 2 tablets 10mg each. Any experience/knowledge of this med in relation to af and apixaban. Google seems to indicate might cause palpitations but not clear.Is anyone here on this?
