Are you taking the amitriptyline for depression? Where you having chest pains? anything between 115 to 140 usually falls within the normal range. It can fluctuate back and forth without there underlined problem. Mine has gone up to 165 but 15 minutes later go down to 135. Sometimes it depends on if you are sitting up or laying down.If you are taking amitriptyline for depression and it works just fine, there shouldn’t be a need for a supplement. You can take more that one med. Sometimes your med may need help from another one. You didn’t specify where you were having pain but wen you mentioned blood pressure I assumed that’s what you were talking about.
erm i get pain in my chest everyday but thats different i got GERD and because i cant burp i get chest pains.
im taking them meds for anxiety and none is working so far
i only asked as the ambalance man was worried about my heart rate being high
How long have you been on amitriptyline? Have they considered raising the dosage? If this med is not helping, you need to request a new med. Not every med works the same for everyone Everyone is different, For me, antidepressants make me more depressed. Found out that I have Bipola and with this, antideppresants are not good. I’m know being treated with anti-anxiety drugs and mood stalizers, and they have helped. Make sure you are being treated for the right thing, because things can take forever to find if your’e being treared for the wrong thing. As far as lack of burping, have you seen a gasterenterologist? They maybe be able to help.
i havnt left the house in over a year so cant get the none burping thing sorted

hi leahbabycake…I’m SO sorry you’ve been housebound for so very long. I too am finding it more and more difficult to leave my home.
it’s so scary!
how have you made things work for such a long time?
I end up playing “games” with myself…starting early in the day “psyching” myself out just so I can run to the grocery store!
SO pathetic!

for six months i havnt been up stairs when i try my anxiety atacks pop open
i dont see mates as my anxiety kicks off with them too
i have to have my hand fan on 24/7
and sorry about you too hope you get better help then im having
Are you agoraphobic? I’m not gonna pretend that I’m an expert of the disease but are you able to be just outside of your house? yard patio front steps? Do you see a theosophists for this. As far as waiting for the citalopram kicking in, that sounds ridiculousness. You don’t need a med in your system to wean off of amitriptyline. I’ve been on this drug for over 20 years off and on and I’ve weaned off several times without taking something else., I’m sorry you’re going through all this, it sucks, I know. I’m 60 and I’ve been living in hell for 40 yrs. I was on a mood stabilizer “Lamotragine” for awhile and I named it “my guardian angel” because immediately, my depression was gone. I suffered a severe ruptured brain anurisym in 2013 and after that the med stopped working. I’m still looking for something else but I decided to come down on everything to see if the change in my brain actually healed my anxieties all together and the meds are making me anxious.Gastroenterology?
that sounds horrid did the med cause that.
yes im okey near the gate as i know i can go straight in but i dont do it offen
im on waiting list for cbt
