anyone got long term joint and muscular pains that have taken AD's at some time

[alypaly]

Just interested as i wanted to see if there was any correlation between people on clomipramine,imipramine,amitriptyline,citalopram,trimipramine and long term side effects on muscle,joints,dry eyes,lupus.

I am not a researcher, I am trying to see if i can talk to my rheumatologist about my theory.

Hi Aly,

Just thought I'd come and bump for you. Have answered on the ME thread.

thx.....moosejust thought i would see if others that are not on our other thread might reply as I would be interested to see who else is suffering.

i am

I tried amitriptyline for a while. The lowest dose didn't help, stepped it up and couldn't handle the side effects so gave up. It was tried as I had succesfully used it years ago for Trigeminal Neuralgia.

A year ago I was on long term pregabalin (diff problem) and once I got used to the effects it was brilliant.

Amitryptiline is rubbish long term but i too have been on pregabalin (still am) and love it. Just need to get my dosage right and work out how to lose all the weight i've gained from taking it...

chickchick...........have you had any side effects like muscle and joint pain from your AD.Did you have the pains before the AD's or since? Sorry to be nosey

Been on prozac seven years, had some pain before that, lots more in last few years. No idea if any connection, wld suspect no in my case

i am finding it very interesting the fact that alot of people have got pain and have had or are still on AD's.

alypaly - muscle and joint pain since AD though i would have them now i think even if i stopped AD

I was prescribed amitriptyline because I had joint pain. This was about ten years ago and the GP told me that reducing joint pain had been one of the unexpected side effects. I couldn't handle the side effects so stopped.
