REPORT

I've been taking amitrip for 5 or 6 mths now and was on 10mg definitely helped with my migraines was also put on it for chronic fatigue. Over time I put on weight but I had thought it was because of my hyoothyroidism. Have had my dosage increased to 20mgs this week by doctor.I am back to school now and have tension and migraines most days. Anyone help regards to preventing weight gain or anything regarding chronic fatigue/hypothyroidism?

I've been prescribed Amitriptyline for 6 weeks for pain behind nose and headaches on one side of my head. Neurologist ruled out sinus infection due to previous doctor report so suggested migraines to be the cause. I am 10 days in on 20mg and feel lethargic all day, drowsy upon waking, lazy and slow, dry mouth, heavy legs, sleep for 10 hrs a night. I feel agitated and grumpy most of the time and was a lot happier before I started taking them. By day 9 subtle headaches started, but today its extremely bad like a migraine all over with nausea, I think its the tabs as I have never suffered like this with migraines in my life. I am going to stop as the side effects are not worth it as I need more focus for my job and studies.

I too have Neuropathy, but my Neurologist suggested I take R-Alpha Lipoic Acid,
which you can find at health food stores. Also try Neuropathjy Support formula which
you can get online. These do take a few months to work. I've only been on this for a few months now, but I am feeling better. It's worth a try and their is a money back guarantee. Good Luck.

Hello Sharon you reminded me of my Dad. My Dad had a high powered job like your husband. He was a very busy man and he travelled a lot on his job. When he retired at 57 he was cut off from his busy routine. He went into depression after that. This is normal for people who shut down their routine life suddenly. But this is not good. Talk to him have and him do something he likes like a hobby. Go out for long walks and do some travelling together if possible. If you have close families and friends try to visit them as often as possible. You need to get him out of the house as often as possible and talk to him often. After his retirement he might have a feeling of his unworthiness which is not true. All busy people go through this problem and it can be fixed. Love him more now than you ever did.

Very successful for my migraines. I have what is called "classic" migraines which had been increasing to several a week. Numbness in limbs and face, swollen tongue, nausea, vomiting, sparklies, loss of vision and incredible pain. I had tried Caffergot, Imitrix, homeopathics and several others that I can't recall and none touched my headaches. Only excedrine and darkness helped at all. I have taken 10mg of Amitriptyline per day and have had 0 migraines for 4 months. I was supposed to step up to 20mg but never did. I have even skipped days and been fine. I never had drowsiness, but I have a high tolerance for depressants. No noticeable weight gain or any of he other symptoms that have been reported. I am watching out for depression as that is a side-effect I want to avoid.

I started 10mg of ami on Friday. It's now Monday, so I've taken 3. Was prescribed it for sinus pain, jaw pain, migraines and lack of sleep. Also depression, but dr says dose too low to affect that & need counselling.

The pain is still there but has moved 1 foot to the left of me ;)

I have dry mouth, and some constipation, but biggest side effect is increased libido. Perhaps a little too much! I am sleeping much better, but before and after have only one thing on my mind. It's very distracting. Should I ask to take 5mg instead of 10? I'm not sure I can keep functioning like this. I have urgent work to do, & can't be bothered.

I've been on Amy trip for neuralgia (chronic unexplained burning in hips, back, thighs and buttocks) which started after knee surgery. I find it's helping somewhat but have only been on for 6 days, 10 mg @ hs. My issue is that it makes me drowsy, but then at about 3 a.m I'm wide awake and it takes me over an hour or so to fall back to sleep. Then I have trouble waking up before 9 a.m. Anyone else have this issue?

Someone please help! I switched psychiatrists - am already on antidepressants and a large amount of xanax. Only problem is I don't go to sleep til about 4 or 5 in the morning. Just because I'm not awake during the day, my new psychiatrist first tried trazadone which I didn't like & now amitriptyline 25mg. I haven't taken it yet...once I saw the side effects of weight gain& constipation, that was bad enough. Now I see all these other problems, with headaches & being groggy. I know xanax is addictive but isn't it better to take a few more xanax, which I already know doesn't have side effects than start another med with side effects and that is hard to get off?
If you don't agree with the xanax part that's fine. If I sleep 8 hours but it just happens to be early morning to noon instead of at night, why is that such a problem? Thank you anyone who can help me at all. I was all ready to take it tonight but there's no way I am. Then doctors get mad because I don't listen to them....I'm on enough meds. I don't want more.

I've been prescribed Amitriptyline 10mg to start off rising by 10mg per week up to 50mg max for Interstitial Cystitis. I took 4 tablets and had to stop, I was completely sedated and groggy from them, I slept from 7pm until 7am on the 4th night. I fell asleep in college and couldn't study as I would fall asleep. In fact, if I wasn't moving I would feel sleepy and doze. I also suffered from headaches from day 2. I stopped taking them on day 4 primarily because of the sleepyness and sedation ... unbearable.
