User Reviews for amitriptyline oral

This drug has helped with my depression after atwo weeks of use but it seems at times I have difficulty waking up and I do have the dry mouth and slight speech difficulties. Overall it is better that not taking anything.

Suffered from migraines for years, tried many different meds...amitriptyline was the first one to help me. I was on it for about 5 years, had one headache in that time and have been migraine free for almost 10 years.

I took this med for migraine prevention and insomnia. Worked great for these conditions but I gained 60 lbs in about 10 months. Until reading this message board, I didn't know that it caused weight gain. I didn't know why I had gained so much, but now I have a pretty good idea. I have always been thin, unable to gain weight even if I wanted to. I was 5'8" tall and weighed 110-115 lbs. Now I weigh almost 170. I am angry that I was not warned of this potential side effect.

I feel irritable and have put on a tremendous amount of weight

Pain has been better, sleeping is amazing, less stressed throughout day...weight gain a bit frustrating, but feel overall better with this drug.

This medication works for easing pain and calming anxiety. The major problem: it increases the appetite. I gained a substantial amount of weight while on this medication.

The relief from neuropathic pain was within days of taking the first one. However, the weight gain experienced reduces my overall satisfaction. I will discuss it with my health provider.

Was given this medication for help with some facial nerve damage. One of the happy side effects was the lessening of monthly migrains.My first dosage 50mg left me so dizzy I couldn't lift my head. Now I take 1 25mg before bed- and get into bed.Double the dose a week before my period. But alas, I'll never loose weight on this pill, but it's way worth it.

Have lost 2/3 of my hair and have constant dry mouth. Have also gained 22 pounds since starting in Aug. 2006. No longer helping the head pain.

This drug made my tongue and lips swell and I felt like I was going to die.

This medicatio along with Neuronton takes the edge off my pain and makes life bearable.

Using for both fibromyalgia and anxiety, and the headaches that accompany anxiety. Wonderful that it works for all conditions, the pain has virtually disappeared.

I had chronic pain from surgery for three years and within a day of taking the amitriptyline oral,the pain was reduced and is now barely a shadow. Side effects for me has been slightly sleepy & dry mouth. I found taking in quarters every ten hours keeps the pain down. I'm thrilled to start back into a quality of life again! No other affects except for the pain.

Just take one get good rest wake up no headaches or mirgraine

I suffered from a recurring daily migraine, which started to subside after about 6 weeks on this medication. Side effects have included drowsiness, heartburn, cravings for sweets, and weight gain. Taking it at night eases the dopey feeling somewhat. Drink lots of water!

As long as i kept taking this medication on a regular basis it worked really well. More than two days of it though i would feel extremely depressed and at times suicidal

works with fewer side affects than vicadon

I am a female and was around 20 years old and took a small dosage (10mg) at bedtime and had paralysis while I was still awake, I could not move nor speak for about 30 minutes - it was a terrifying experience - I took it for 2 or 3 nights but the effects never diminished - now I always mark on my medical records that I cannot take that medicine.

It seems to be helping the migraines, but a few days after starting the med, I began to experience dizzyness when moving my head. Also, when standing up I am dizzy for a few seconds.
