apparently it helps with back pain, which I guessing is one of the reasons my gp gave it to me.

I'm taking them for PTSD/depression after a car crash when I broke a bone in my back, I gather amytriptyline helps with way pain is felt as well as depression.
Candy, Sorry to hear your having headaches & dioreah, I'm taking paracetomol and codiene based meds so maybe that's why I've not had these, hope the benefits kick in for both of us soon.
