User Reviews for amitriptyline oral

Amitrityline, aka Tryptanol, had a calming effect for my chronic pain..After 4 surgeries, I take amitrityline, 25 mg. in the evening before bedtime. No side effects noted while taking this medication.

i use this medication for irritable bowel syndrome and it has worked for me for a very long time, over time it has become slightly less effected, but that is expected, i experienced no side effects

Have found this treatment has had a calming effect on my intestinal nerves, eases burning sensation, however sometimes makes me feel nauseous, this can be off putting hopefully will ease off, have been on this nearly a month.

My doc presribed this medication for me following post herpitic neuralgia; I guess this happened after contracting shingles. I didn't ask for help with sleep, but the MD ordered this to be taken at bedtime. I experienced some difficulty in the mornings with a feeling of slight drunkiness, especially if I have to get up early (less than 7-8 hours sleep). Since I am a recovered alcoholic (no alcohol for over 10 years), I am particularly concerned about possible dependency, and getting to the point of enjoying the early morning numbness. All in all, I can't really tell if it's doing anything for or against my normal habits. But, the burning sensation on my chest and back are continuing; and it's a h___ of a feeling. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.Read More Read Less

I have taken for over a year along with Topamax at bedtime for migraines. I have not gained any weight. The Topamax makes you lose weight. I have had some success with this combination.

Doctor prescribed 25mg for my 14 year old with chronic pain (headache). It has been wonderful!! A different kid after the 3rd day!! Also, seems to have cured her nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting). So if you have a child with a bedwetting problems and chronic headache, talk to your doctor about this medication.

Does not meet the intended use critierea.

Just keeps him awake at night and tired in the day and trying it in the morning still didn't work.

I gained considerable pain relief from my periferal neurolpathy. The positive effect on mood was a pleasant by-product

i have tried so many meds to make my pain go away.. finally enough was enough, i got a second opionion, although i have more tests to do.. the FIRST day of taking the oral pill after waking up the following morning, i DID NOT HURT.. no low back pain, no hip pain to dress my self.. after every moment of pain, i couldn't believe something was finally working... it's changing my life.. if only i had known...

i was hoping to get rid of the migraines forever it has eased them i get exremly tired and exhausted being on it but i went almost 2 years in chroinic pain and vomitting from the mirgraines i'm nervous about swtiching meds they all seem to have the same side affects

I have a chronic sleep disorder, and this is the only drug that has enabled me to reach deep rem sleep.

Is the only thing to help my migraines. Cut them from 4-5 times a week to 2-4 a month. But, I can't stop eating. I have trouble losing weight, but no trouble gaining. :(

Has helped with preventing migraines. One side effect is weight gain.

PERSONALLY FOR ME THIS MEDICATION DID NOT WORK. I STILL HAVE THE SAME FEELINGS AFTER TAKING THIS MEDICATION AND I TRULY DO NOT FEEL ANY DIFFERENT.

I was prescribed this medication for insomnia, after not sleeping for three days. The only problem I had was waking up after taking it, but it was very very effective.
