Amitriptyline

[TLC1808]

Hi all I’m new to the site....
Have recently been prescribed Amitriptyline, with a starting dose of 10mg to help with pain and sleep. Would be great to hear about anyone’s experiences with this. Always feel anxious when starting new medication.
Thanks

Ive been taking it for 6 years for tension headaches, works a treat. It makes you tired so take at night :)

Im not one that can take tablets as most of them send me funny but these are fine :)

( im on a higher dose than u )

I was on this medication for nerve pain and to help me sleep and it worked really well. It made me tired and I'd be asleep within an hour so if it has the same effect it's worth experimenting with the best time to take it. Also gave me a really dry mouth in the morning but that eased with time. I eventually worked up to a high doseage which was great for me. I did find it to be one of the nicer drugs compared to others I'd tried iyswim

Thanks for your replies as made me feel more relaxed about trying it.
