I have cronic back pain due to Cervical Spondulosis (I hope this spelling is correct). Have battled for years with sever pain & insomnia. My dr prescribed Trepiline about a month ago. This is like a magic drug. For the first time in years, I can sleep thru the night. I am not totally comatose. Do wake up to go to the toilet etc, but drop right back into a deep sleep. I do have a problem getting out of bed in the mornings. So, I take my Trepiline with my supper at about 6pm. I find that this does help me with my waking in the mornings.

iv been using 25mg trepiline for over a year and i feel GREAT. I used to suffer from eight hour migrains everyday, i also suffered from insomnia, extreme anxiety fear. Being on trepiline i feel normal, happy n get a good nights rest. I am a better person to b around and i dont think i could go back to living without trepiline. I havnt had any serious side effects, iniatially i gained 2kg but im back to normal with no dieting, i also used to feel a bit sleepy in the day but my body has adjusted n im perfectly fine now, dry mouth also. I take my tablet before bed. my only concern is if it effects an unborn child as i may want to have a child soon? Pls can anyone help?

Fatima, Amitriptyline (the active ingredient in Trepiline) belongs to pregnancy category D in the United States. This means that "There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks."

So I think this will boil down to your doctor's discretion based on your specific medical history. I hope this helps!

I have had poplitial arterial replacement using my veins in both my legs after an unsuccesful replacement with prosteses. MRSA were then diagnosed and recovery took quite a while. At this point my right knee was affected and I was operated to clear the knee (Synovectomy). My knee never realy recovered and the same with my blood circulation to both my legs. I am in constant pain and presently use 50Ug/h durogesic morphine stickers to help me through my day. At times I will also take one Synap forte if I know that i am going to exsert myself. My specialist prescribed me Lyrica which helped a bit but after a while my calves started to pain so I stopped it. Then Trepiline were prescribed with exactly the same prognosis. Is there perhaps anything else I should try as the Dorogesic stickers does not block out all the pain. I am 62 years old and have ceised smoking and can walk about 30 Metres without claudication that forces me to rest. I can however walk about 60 Metres with one crutch . I am also a mild diabetic (type2)

I have been on 10mg for two years as I have suffered with insomnia for many years. What a gift! I take it about 1 hour before bedtime and I go to bathroom during the night, or wake up to say to my student daughter when home from waitressing, and am able to chat and go to bed again without a struggle. Reading all the comments, find the dosage that agrees with your body type. I know of women who have been given 25mg to start off with and it has made them feel awful. After chatting to me and lowering dosage has worked wonders. I LOVE IT, I CAN GET MY WONDERFUL SLEEP AT NIGHT AND NOT FEEL DRUGGED THE NEXT MORNING!!!

I have been drinking Trepiline (12.5mg) for 2 months before sleep. I drank it for better sleep, anxiety and cronic pain I slept well but recently I realised that I feel like I am in a cocoon, foggy at day and my memory was slipping. I have put on weight and feels it is to much effort to do anything about it. Does Trepiline build up in your system? For the past view nights I have been feeling more and more drugged before going to bed. As if the Trepiline's effect was increasing. Last night I drank 600mg Gabatropin and slept wonderfully. I did not drink my Trepiline last night and find myself moody and crying easily today.

I have perscribed with Trepiline by my orthopaedic surgeon for pain in my right leg due to a knee problem causing a lot of pain. At about the same time my Vascular surgeon prescribed Lyrica for pain due to nerve damage following artery bypasses. Can any one out there tell me if there is any difference between these two medications?

I have been prescribed Trepiline 25mg by my Neurosugeon for extremely sore legs from the knees down. Cant even let my legs touch each other its so sore. Even the skin surface has been sore. Have had to sleep with a pillow between my legs. Been on it now for nearly a month and pain in one leg gone and the other one about 80% gone. Neurosureon says the medication works on the nervous system. Basically it tells the pain nerve in the brain that there is no pain. I am also sleeping better. Just very dry nose in the morning and sometime a bit of blood when I blow my nose. Not sure why.

I had the same problem. So my doctor advised me to take it at the latest at 7 o'clock in the evening. This solved the problem of getting up late the following morning.
