Amatriptoline was horrendous for me, it's supposed to work on depression aswell as nerve pain, however it made me very suicidal and was taken off it after a month. The same with gabapentine, progabalin. After alot of trials I can take duluxotine I'm up to 2 a day along with zapain,tramadol and now morphine. My life is a shambles, I forget my granddaughter name, small words that should come easy and have the attention span of a gold fish 🐠

I've been on 100 mg a night for 10 years. It worked wonders for me until a recent flare up and I haven't experienced weight gain.

Amitriptylene has been a wonderful miracle for me!!! Sleep through the night for the first time in thirteen years!! Have only been on it for six-nine months and have gained a bit of weight I think but it's worth it so far!!!

Was on it for years & helped me sleep but the weight gain was unbelievable & not worth it to me. I had no withdrawals from stopping it & was shocked by that & all my weight came off -within 3 months I was at my normal weight with no dieting or exercise. Was quite shocked that that was why I had gained weight & nothing I did helped me to lose it when I was on it. My prescription had run out & didn't get it refilled cuz I was quite busy at the time & I started to lose weight really fast & realized it was because I was no longer on it. It didn't do anything for pain but I really liked how it helped me to sleep💕

@A MyFibroTeam Member - I agree it's great for sleeping but I was on it for 10 years- hence the weight gain. I do miss that wonderful sleep♥️
