@fatsfat Keep in mind that when you try a new medication it can take time for your body to adapt. The side effects can lessen as your body adapts. It is frustrating and uncomfortable. Try to be patient and see if things improve.
Yes, I have fibro, PTSD, depression, spinal stenosis and the list continues. The mind can play tricks. Again, try to give it a little time.
I have taken Amitripyline for YEARS and couldn't live or sleep without it. I have Firbro and was prescribed that. I take it about 7:30p., and go to sleep about two hours later. If I take it too late, I am a little groggy in the morning. I too have serious back pain and have Tramadol but it does absolutely nothing for pain. I just a percoset that I had left over from dental surgery and it worked for about six hours. I know no one will probably write an Rx for that. I wish pain doctors had chronic pain~~maybe things would change.
