Experiences with

Amitriptyline

My GP did try me off it and replaced it with Amitriptyline (10mg). However this gave me unwanted side effects (Diahrrea). Although it did warn some users may experience this the worse thing of all was that it warned against its use for those who have a range of heart irregularities.

Details of my story below: Current medication: amitriptyline 10mg, cerazette 75mcg Diagnosis from ultrasound and MRI: Stage 4 endometrosis (Deeply Infiltrating Endometrosis) -severe DIE on posterior uterine wall onto the lower back -superficial bowel endometrosis -superficial bilateral ovarian endometrosis

I’m also on Amitriptyline which helps with the anxiety.In the end you get so desperate you will try anything.Good luck.

So I would recommend taking the amitriptyline.There is nothing to worry about.I used to take fluoxidine but amitriptyline for me are better.Its worth trying them. Good luck!

Been given a tablet called amitriptyline by my doctor. For tinnitus,Has anyone else been prescribed this 10mg tablet once a day x

Also was give amitriptyline but one 10 mg dose at bedtime knocked me out for 24 hours. I am going for dressing tomorrow and have asked for GP to see me at same time so I can discuss medication. I can either sleep in a chair or hang my leg out of my bed for relief.

But I take amitriptyline at night to help with back fracture but low dose 10mg. I also get palpitations. I can’t seem to sort any of this out. 😢

happy with my levels at the moment but I am feeling shaky, my heart rate goes into the 90's with little exertion and I have had 4 migraines in 4 weeks when I had got them under control.I take my thyroxine as instructed and did my blood test early and fasting taking my levothyroxine after it.I take 20mg amitriptyline

The doctors have increased my amitriptyline. Has anyone else experienced this with sciatica? Thank you

Over the last couple of years I've been suffering constipation which I put down to taking Amitriptyline for chronic migraine. I would go 2-3 days without a bowel movement and could only get things going again with Laxido and Senakot.

I started amitriptyline just over 6 weeks ago and have noticed I was getting confused so changed to pregablin on Thursday. At least I know baricitnib works. OH is going to check meds now . It does get confusing. I’m on 10 tablets a day and 3 of those are the same colour but different shapes .

Should a GP prescribe amitriptyline to a patient who is already suffering from fatigue due to MDS/MPN? I have cut down to taking it every other day (at 6.0 pm) but I'm still a zombie most of the time. I may be elderly but I still have things to do.

I’m wanting to up my amitriptyline dosage but already taking tramadol so worried. Thanks

I scared and hope someone on here can put my mind at rest about taking this with the Amitriptyline. Sorry for the long post.

blood cells but lots of them which possible could be iron related but she said no anemia I'm a bit confused as my ferritin gone down n my iron panel in March everything was low end range maybe this is why my hair really falling out n fatigued and not Thyroid related anyway she has prescribed amitriptyline

I'm still waiting on news of my operation technically should have been next month but will have to wait longer due to the backlog I feel the amitriptyline was dulling the pain to start with but pain creeping up again so might need to move up a dose. Got videocall with Painmanagement next week.

I have been prescribed amitriptyline for sciatica. Have any other members taken it ? I am on bisoprolol and Apixaban.

At the beginning my GP prescribed me Amitriptyline 30g daily before sleep. I didn’t take it until the pain made it impossible to sleep or function normally, it helped with sleeping, however the pain levels did not decrease. I’m not on any medication at the moment.

Hi has anyone tried amitriptyline for fibromyalgia im on it now after coming off gabapentin. I've had problems with my blood levels and blurry eyesight and pain. Has anyone else had any of these problems and can you recommend any different treatment. Thank you

Went to the GP, was offered antidepressants, ENT referral - Took a few weeks for the antidepressants to kick in but they did help with the anxiety, I still couldn’t sleep so the GP gave me amitriptyline to help (which it did).
