I have had trouble with taking drugs,allergic to morphine have bowel problems that are life long so always have to avoid anything that can aggravate this. I have had a serious bout of pneumonia admittedly a good few years ago but this has left me with scarring and often chest infections. My doctor is happy for me to have it as the pain is stopping me from sitting and sleeping it’s been 4 months of hell. I have exhausted everything else literally accupuncture,PT,tens other drugs I’m ok on diazepam this seems the only thing I can tolerate I have tried Amitriptyline but it gave me a slow odd heart beat. Just wondering is there anyone out there who has a complicated body like mine, the pharmacist had said it’s a low dose and it’s being increased gradually so she has even told my husband I should take it he knows them all well now he’s virtually lived in there for the last few months, I’m just do nervous of taking it the leaflet of complications is awful and without being dramatic I can’t even have a tooth out or accupunture without them commenting on how unusual my tissue nits together or how no one has ever said that acupuncture was painful before I am definitely not normal 🤨but I’m desperate for some relief from this pain can anyone help please

I take a very high dose. 900mg 3x a day. No side effects. Go for it.
