Amitriptyline

[larsbars]

Hello....

I wonder if anyone has ever taken Amitriptyline and, if so, how did they find it. I am currently taking 60mg of Citalopram (the highest dose) and my doc wants me to take 10mg of Amitriptyline for anxiety as well. I am a bit worried because I don't know much about it and don't really want to be taking two lots of tablets.

I will consult my trusted drugs book and revert... lol x

Well from what I can gether it works the same way as any other tricyclic anti-depressant with similar sort of side effects (if any). I think it is more of a short term drug but other than that I am unsure... Not sure why put you on that if already on Citalopram but will look into that too (im interested now - using you like a lab rat! )

Hi WG,

I think he put me on the amitriptyline as well because he couldn't give me a higher dose of citalopram and I think that amitriptyline has a bit more of a sedative effect....I have to admit that I still haven't taken it yet. I have been feeling better over the last couple of days which I think has boosted me a bit.

Let me know if you find anything else out though,
