Amitriptyline 25 mg

Posted by srwolfe @srwolfe, Sep 26, 2023

Ok people my Dr has prescribed Amitriptyline 25 mg for my chronic body pain. Started on 9/21/2023 and so far no nite sweats. Instead I am really sleepy all day. Last night I took the pill at 5pm and feel a little more alert. I feel some pain relief but nothing close to the overall pain relief of using the cymbalta. Only five days hopefully the amitriptyline will kick in and help the pain. Anyone using Amitriptyline please let me know.

@dlydailyhope and @lioness - sorry for the mixup!

@lioness how long were you on Lyrics before going off it, and did Lyrica make you constipated? I find since I have been on the generic Lyrica Inhave been constipated, despite taking psyllium fibre every day. I also have anal fissures for which I am using Nifedipine 0.2% ointment compound but that is not helping - possibly because I am constipated. I wasn’t, when I initially developed fissures.
