Amitriptyline Hcl Tab (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I am taking 25 MG at night and sometimes 25 MG in the day time. I have very short temper and I get angry very fast. I am a very busy man at the office and have to handle a variety of things simultaneously. When I take the medicine I feel ok. My only worry is that if I continue too long I will get addicted to it and will that be bad? Also need to know if I take this tab regularly will it affect my libido?

Michelle, I was on elavil 50 mg at bed for depression, anxiety, panic attacks an insomnia. Iowa also taking clonipin at the same time. It put me to sleep, relieved my anxiety so much that my clonipin was cut in half. My mood was great. Best I felt in long time! Had to go off it due to side effects!

I am on clonazepam with Elavil (amyltriptiline) and I actually had my dose of clanazepam lowered because it has helped my anxiety so much.

Well, the thing is every medicine builds over time, I was diagnosed with MS 3 years ago, you name a drug and I have taken it, EVERY ONE I know has had problems with this drug, not to say you will, good luck, they seem to have a schedule they start you on with drugs,all the ones that work no one will prescribe.
I self medicate several drugs,the dr's tell me i'm right but won't prescribe them...

Anyway.... my 2 cents.

Good luck.

Tommy, as I said in my other post, they are a possibility, but they are not common and not representative of most people that take this medication. Most people take it with very few, if any, problems.

However, if you are scared to take it, due to the possible risk, then you should contact your doctor and discuss it with them.

But, what you should also know is that all medications, even over the counter products, carry the risk of causing certain side effects, some more dangerous than others. This is just one of the hazards of using them to treat health problems.

Mike, while your suicidal tendencies are possible on this medication, they are very rare and not representative of the typical user. As to your dad's actions, there is really no way to say whether or not the medication had any effect on that.


Razzaak, addiction occurs when you use more and more of something, because you like the affect it has on you, such as if something makes you high or euphoric. What you are talking about, with using a medication regularly is dependency, because your body gets used to having it and yes, that can occur with anything you use regularly for a long period of time, even your morning coffee or orange juice.

Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant and yes, it may cause sexual problems, that is typical of medications in this class.

Other side effects may also include: nausea, drowsiness and weight gain.
