Hi there Di & Jane,
I used to be on amitriptiline to help with sleep and it is suppose to help the pain but I had some reaction with my asthma I was ok on the mild ones but as it didn't help really ( as we are all different ) the doctor increased the dosage and then I had breathing difficulties :oops: so I came off them.......I do think my little one does keep me going as it is a case of having to !!!!
