May I ask, can you say yet whether amytriptyline makes you drowsy? I tried it many years ago and the feeling was a pretty unpleasant drowsiness. Now when I see your initial 10 mg dose, I wonder if my doctor prescribed an initial high dose, and if I should go back and try it again, but ramping up from an initial low dose. And, you’ve only been on it for a week or so, but do you notice any improvement yet? Also, ask your doctor about laryngeal nerve blocks. They’re an injection of an anesthetic and and anti-inflammatory into the neck close to the laryngeal nerve. I thought it was going to hurt a lot but I hardly felt it.
