New To Drug Stopping Amitryptilene

Updated

Hi I am new to this drug starting on 100 mg 3 times a day because I have been getting terrible headaches. I was on ami for 4 months because of nerve pain , and that drug was sorting that pain out lovely. These headaches which are worse when I have been in bed for a few hours it wakes me up are so painful. Has any one experienced this before? I am waiting physio again and am off work for a week. Gp is sure its down to my neck.

Yes, if they are getting worse and/or waking you up, when you're laying down, it really does sound like something is out of alignment in your neck area.

What type of pillow do you use, if any?

If it is raising you up too high, or even not enough, it may be contributing to the problem. A proper pillow should actually just keep your head and neck aligned, neither raising, nor lowering your head.

I have had that happen before, also after being rear-ended in an accident and what finally helped me was purchasing and using gel pillows. They tend to have more give and flexibility than regular foam pillows, but they don't tend to flatten out with time. I've had mine for a couple of years now and they still retain their shape, so they still provide proper support.

Thank you I will look for that type of pillow. I have decided to stop the gabapentin after 3 days as my pain has been a lot worse and trouble sleeping since stopping the ami and gone back to the ami but double dose as doctor suggested. I wanted to try a new drug as was getting headaches at night for 3 months but they have started in the day time too and are very sharp. Lets hope the double dose helps and symptoms not too bad.
