What does it do exactly?

Oh ok, good luck with it
Hi Shelly
Been in them nearly a week, got headache but had one before started in them, but after reading about them one of the common side effects is a headache.
What has doc put you on them for?
Its often used for pain in inflammatory conditions, classed as a nerve end calmer, as also sedative affect and helps with sleep, but thats more in higher doses, low dose 10mg doesnt have too much in side affects, but does cause being thirsty. Not heard it being used for ibs, but given for quite a few problems.
Didn't help with ibs but does help with cfs and fibromyalgia. Depo contraceptive injection helps for some women if it's agrivated by hormones.
Can't see that 10mg would work and it does give false blood sugar levels. Can also speed up your heart rate in higher long term doses.
It is one of the original older antidepressant medications for depression, but they have found many other uses for it. It does make you sleepy, so therefore can help sleep. It might be helpful.
For my IBS going to start it tonight will let you how it goes
I really hope it will help
Hi Shelly, yes I asked to try this mid December as daily pain getting me down. I have UC and IBS. I can take up to 20 mg but find 10 mg does the trick. Helped straight away but about 4-6 weeks for better relief, so give it time. No side effects other than spaced out feeling in morning and hard to get out of bed so I take mine early evening..about 7 ish. Good luck and let us know how you do.Wonder drug for many people even in small dose😃
It was originally an antidepressant but is now used to relieve nerve pain. I was given it for stomach pain caused by gastritis ( didn't know it was gastritis at the time) and yes it did help but it is the only medication I've ever taken that knocked me out. Within half an hour of taking it I couldn't keep my eyes open and would sleep at least 9 hours straight through. It would also leave me feeling spacey and groggy the next day but this wore off in time.
Hi Jill,
Do you get an headache with the fuzzy feeling in a morning, i don't know if mine is related to taking the pills or if it just a tension headache, because I get the fuzzy eyes and tension feelings in my neck?
The non alcohol drinking is a pain, I use to enjoy a can or two on an evening after work,
I would venture to guess that it is a side effect of he amtripyline (elavil); these old antidepressants can leave you with some of those type feelings.
Hi,no headache as such, just takes me a while to wake up properly...hence I take it about 7 pm and usually sleep very well !
So been taking it for about a week so far it hasnt helped at all and it doesnt make me sleepy in fact it keeps me awake go figure that would be my luck
Well so far no help with pain at all and it keeps me awake but nothing helps me sleep anyway hope it kicks in soon
