User Reviews for amitriptyline oral

Dr thought this medication would be a good match since I have ptsd anxiety depression and mood problems and suffer from migraines and sleep problems. 2 months in and migraines are worse I cannot sleep and it causes so many bodily problems it doesn't seem worth it. Huge weight gain with less eating and I hate myself more for it. Diabetes is now out of control as well. Always tired but can't sleep lack of energy cant use the bathroom blurry vision headaches..... Just not worth it.

it has given me memory loss.gain weight.dizziness only on 10 mg.but it did make me feel no pain and gave me good sleep.......

It help with headech and sleep No side effects at all . 20mg before bed.

The pain doctor prescribed it for osteoarthritis pain management but it did not help at all.

I have been taking this for 25 years for migraine prevention, abdominal migraines to be specific. After a battery of test I was so glad my doctor tried this medicine. I have been symptom free unless I am severely stressed. I have had no "long term issues" others are stating.

I have used this madicin for 3 years, this did not work for which doctor has prescribe me but believe me it was like miracle to me. I was able to get proper sleep, muscle was growing faster, suddenly I was able to score too good grades in collage, able focus on things I do. Feeling happy and fearless. Everything was going great, but its blurred my vision,that's not good going. When I stop taking this madicin now every thing changed back to normal. It is dangerous to take for longer time because it will Blur vision, kidney problems and Liver. Once I stop I could not able to sleep well and mood is changing. Better continue with small dose it u don't face blurry vision or don't have eye sight problem Other wise this madicin is like miracleRead More Read Less

I used to get 3 totally disabling hemiplegic migraines per week, I was prescribed Rizatriptan at first, however it did not work to help after my migraines had already started. A new doctor wanted to try preventative measures and prescribed Amitriptyline, since then, 3 years later, I have not had a migraine and I've only had to increase my dosage one time. The only side effect that has bothered me is drowsiness, but I take it at night so that's never been a huge problem/

its blurred my vision,that's not good going from one problem to another.

Just taking it, can’t rate it fairly, at this time.

Took 1/2 tablet of 25 mg at bedtime for upper back muscle and neck pain for 2 years. Pros: pain relief starts 30 minutes after taking & lasts through next day. Cons: Drowsy, foggy, constantly hungry, dry mouth. Stopped & lost all 13 lbs gained in 4 months. Now take on as needed basis which doctor agreed to. Take early in evening & make sure next day is a day of rest.

Love that it helps with the migraines. Maybe had like 3 real bad ones since being on this. What Iâ??m not liking with this drug, is the weight gain. Iâ??ve put on about 30 pounds in about 5 MONTHS! Itâ??s insane. Most likely will be trying something new because canâ??t keep doing the weight gaining crap. (Gaining weight wouldnâ??t be a deal breaker, but thatâ??s just too much too fast)

Was prescribed 50 mg for treatment of migraines, depression, and insomnia due to post concussion syndrome. I can honestly say it's helped with the intended purpose, but the side effects have been awful. Constant state of fogginess (which had gotten better with time on the drug), I'm up 30 lbs in 4 months, causes bad acid reflux and constipation. Also do not drink alcohol at all ... Had two drinks and woke up on my basement floor at 4:30 am. I can't wait to be off of this...

I suffered a severe concussion and while I was in the hospital they gave it to me to make me sleep and to try to stop the migraines. I'm still suffering migraines. I do sleep but wake up with full blown migraines. I have gained almost 30 pounds in 2 years and that really depresses me. I have asked to be taken off it but the neurologist keeps upping the dosage. I feel like I don't have any control.

I am taking this medicine to help with sleep. I used to wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks. Haven't had that problem since I started taking it.

prescribed to me for migraines along with high anxiety preventing me from sleeping. worked well, i was out like a light. it took a while for it to take effect on my body, but the wait was 100% worth it.

I took amitriptyline for tension headaches that plagued me daily. The headaches would come on in the late afternoon; usually the worst pain was between 5-8pm. Started with 10mg, worked my way up to 50mg, and then after 2 years, withdrew by 10mg until off after five-six weeks. Withdraw made me anxious, but the worst was over after only 2 weeks - make sure you plan a good exercise, hydrate, and health eating plan during this 2 week period. Overall, the drug helped and got rid of the headaches, but the daily grogginess made me want to quit and i quit successfully. Read More Read Less

Migraines and pain with defecation 2 days in a row. Stopped when I stopped taking it. Then a week of crying.
