Changed pharmacies today and received the 10mg amitriptyline in blue. The first month I used this from the previous pharmacy the pill was pink. Is there any difference in the two? ## Put, pictures of amitriptyline 10mg, in Google. You should see a link to pictures. They do come in pink and blue and other colors. ## @Frankie, If you get them filled from a licensed pharmacy, odds are that the two medications contain the same active ingredients and dosage, but may have different binders/fillers. If you happen to know the pill imprint you can either look it up online or post it here for reference. However, in my own findings, a round blue pill marked with V 2101 reportedly contains 10mgs of Amitriptyline made by Qualitest. And you can view a photo of it by clicking the following National Dr...

I started taking amitriptyline HCL 10MG 5 years ago. I would now like to wean myself off of the pills. How to I decrease the dosage and how long will it take before I am free from any problems. Grace ## Hello, Grace! How are you? It would be best to get medical assistance with doing so. However, the modern preferred method is usually to have a patient start to skip doses, while also gradually lowering how much they take. As listed by the FDA, possible withdrawal effects may include nausea, fever, chills, diarrhea, rebound depression and rebound anxiety. It's hard to say how long it will take to be free of issues, you've been on it for years, so it could take a month, or so.

I took the white M77 for years, one and a half year ago my script provder changed it to the blue 1201 v. during this time I have developed extremely dry mouth which I never had all the years I took the m77. I dont know yet. could this change to blue 1201 v, be contributing to my extremely dry mouth? thank you very much ## Yes, it certainly could be what's causing it, there may be different inactive ingredients in this tablet, or you may be getting a slight bit more of the active ingredient and dry mouth can be one of the normal side effects of Amitriptyline. Learn more Amitriptyline details here. When I have medications that cause dry mouth, I've found that sucking hard candy tends to help with it.

Small white pill with the letter M and 77 on back side pleze let me know? ## Hello, Margy! How are you?

My sister is in the hospital due to an overdose of Amitriptlyne. She had been taking 300mg for more than 25 years. She is now diabetic so her kidneys are not excreting the dosage like it should. Therefore when the blood level came back it was equal to 600mg. Therefore the doctors had no choice but to cut her off cold. She is very combative and screaming etc. How long will this last? ## Its hard to say whether or not she may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms from going cold turkey off the pill, or if the cognitive symptoms are simply from having too much serotonin. Amitriptyline has an average half-life of 15 hours. Half-life here means that, say, 15 hours after ingesting Amitriptyline, half of the active amount will be gone. This doesn't mean that 15 hours later, though, the other...

Is it safe to take tylex 500mg with amitriptyline and prozac and statins plus insulin ## Hello, Belinda! How are you? Which statin and which insulin? I'm sorry, but I need more specifics to be able to check this all out for you. The FDA classifies Tylex as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. The Prozac can make the Codeine more potent, so you shouldn't combine them, unless your doctor specifically approves it.

can deanxit be taken if still breastfeeding? ## Source: Lundbeck labs Deanxit drug information (2014) Breast-feeding As flupentixol is found in breast milk in low concentrations it is not likely to affect the infant when therapeutic doses are used. The dose ingested by the infant is less than 0.5% of the weight related maternal dose (in mg/kg). It is not known whether melitracen is excreted in breast milk. However, another tricyclic antidepressant, amitriptyline, is found in breast milk in low concentrations and it is not likely to affect the infant when therapeutic doses are used. The dose ingested by the infant is about 2% of the weight related maternal daily dose (in mg/kg). As melitracen has the same lipophilic properties as amitriptyline, it is assumed that it occurs in breast milk...
