I have been taking amitriptylin for many years now helps with the pain

I've been considering switching from Lyrica to Amitriptyline (Elavil). Does it cause fatigue or brain fog as bad as Lyrica? Any specific side effects?

@brennankb55 The first time you take it you will be hard to wake up in then morning, you will be zonked out but after you get used to it, after 2 or 3 days then you will be ok, I have been taking it for over 15 years now and when I first started getting the dreaded neuropathy in my legs and feet, the pain was pretty much negative. Thats when I talked to my doctor and she said that I was lucky to have been taking it (amitriptyline). If you have pain then you might try it and see if it helps, of course it does not help balance which I have a hard time with.
