Experiences with

Amitriptyline

Has anyone else heard of amitriptyline to treat CTS? Thank you very much.

He was given amitriptyline 25 for his headaches but that doesn't seem to be working. Any advice?

I have been on Amitriptyline, Gabapentin and had two occipital nerve blocks. These were all unsuccessful. I am now taking Candesartan which does offer some relief but the dose keeps needing to be increased to achieve the same effect.

I take 20mg propranolol morning and evening, 10mg Amitriptyline each evening, riveroxaban 20mg each evening, Selenium 200mcg each morning, 10mg cetirizine each morning and a complex b vitamin tablet. I need to discuss my dosage with my gp as I feel my T3 is too low.

Amitriptyline for pelvic pain. How long it takes to work? The very first day I took it , got rid of my pain, 90% , but day two, and no pain relief whatsoever. I had a lap done and still in pain, Dr. said its purely neuropathic and prescribed it. Worried now

Today my GP prescribed amitriptyline as I haven't had a normal sleep for an unacceptable time now ( almost 2/3 months) He is convinced my Fibromyalgia is causing insomnia. I also have RA ( on Baracitinib) and had neck surgery this year ( compression of nerves) also on HRT.

At last someone suggested Amitriptyline which has helped with the headaches and meant I can sleep better. I took 1 tablet at night until recently when I have cut it down to half a tablet because of the side effect of constipation. I haven't been to the Doctor before cutting down.

job like that but who would except me having to keep getting up and down to find comfort and fight fatigue .. wish i could find some answers xx love to all ... tried gaberpentin had to come of them side effect nade things even worse cant take codienne they knock me out like im a zombie i was ok with amitriptyline

as the doctor taught, went back today to tell them and was met by a doctor I've never met before, he went on to say that the amitriptyline that I'm on will take a while and that I should just take that, so I asked if he would give me anything for the pain because I'm not taking the amitriptyline for

As a psychiatrist, I prescribe amitriptyline for patients at times - most patients seem to need higher doses than your family medical doc is comfortable prescribing. Gabapentin works only for some people, not everyone. You can also try cymbalta, trileptal, tegretol.

I am on amitriptyline and meloxicam which are working well and along with great support from my lovely husband, understanding boss, oldest friend who has fibro too and some colleagues who care for someone at home with fibro, all in the garden is rosy.

This time round I have been prescribed Amitriptyline to help with the pain. It is very early days so I am still reserving judgement on whether it actually does anything to help the pain but since taking them I have been experiencing excruciating pain down my shins.

I take Amitriptyline 2x50mg at night and if I don't catch start of migraine I take Zolmitriptan 5mg and go to bed as seems to be the only way to get ant relief. AS829

Although I have learned much about all this stuff I'm not able to figure out what's going on, her GP has now given her 200mg tablets of ferrous sulphate to take and of course the usual antidepressants amitriptyline!

after suffering in silence with rls for many years, i recently went to doctors, and was prescribed with, amitriptyline. has anyone any experience with this as a "cure".

I went to my doctor who gave me a low dose of amitriptyline to prevent headache but I haven’t managed to take this consistently. She said if they continue then she will refer me to neurology. Anyway, I’ve been feeling pretty crappy and tired to the point where I’ve not gone into work.

I have been given amitriptyline for nerve pain and I have given Pregablin I'm at my wits end as gp has said to up my Pregablin don't want up them as I have my mums funeral on Monday and still waiting to see a consultant for my bronchiectasis.

Consultant has written to GP to recommend prescribing one of the three medications above. Just interested to know which worked best for other people in terms of reducing pains and symptoms whilst having the least side effects? If you had a choice, what would you pick? Thanks in advance :)

I have been prescribed 10mg amitriptyline at night.

I saw a new doctor on Monday who put me on Amitriptyline, I questioned it, as I’d previously been taken off it. He was adamant I give it a go. I’m only on a starter dose & have only been taking it for 4 days, but from day one, I became ridiculously restless after I’d taken them.
