I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a rheumatologist, and he suggested a low dose of amitriptyline for chronic pain. The GP prescibed me 10mg per night and I took the first pill last night.
I woke up this morning feeling completely wiped, couldn't help falling asleep on the sofa for hours and have been feeling like a zombie all day. I wasn't expecting this as I was told 10mg was a low dose. I know it's early days but I feel terrible. I can't work like this.
Anyone else had this and what did you do?
