Amitriptyline

Amitriptyline, sold under the brand name Elavil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and a variety of pain syndromes from neuropathic pain to fibromyalgia to migraine and tension headaches.[10] Due to the frequency and prominence of side effects, amitriptyline is generally considered a second-line therapy for these indications.[11][12][13][14] The most comm...

can they be taken together and if not why would the give them without knowing the effect ## Hi Dawn! Did u get your medication from the same Doctor? If so, then he/she wouldn't give u anything that couldn't be taken together. Your Doctor knows all the medication u are on. Besides, the pharmacy watches out for those things, too. ## Hello, Dawn! How are you? Most doctors don't actually know the potential interactions, they are taught what medications are for, but not much beyond that. Normally, that is something your pharmacist would handle. And yes, there is actually a risk of developing Serotonin Syndrome from combining these, since they all have an effect on its levels in the body and that can be cumulative from all of them. I'd suggest having a serious discussion with ...

I have been on endep for the past year due to anxiety I have cut down to 10 mg I am sick of taking it as I have been putting on to much weight I am also on sandomigraine .5 in which I take 2 every night for preventative from headaches/migraines but still get them why and what if I was to completely stop taking them ?? ## Hello, Belinda! How are you? Endep is listed by the FDA as containing Amitriptyline, it is a tricyclic antidepressant, so suddenly stopping it could cause withdrawal and rebound effects, which may include nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, diarrhea and rebound depression and/or anxiety. Sandomigran is listed as containing the active ingredient Pizotifen, which is intended to reduce the frequency of migraines, but actually doesn't prevent them all. Stopping it will li...

I have chronic osteoarthritis through my whole body including my spine, plus other bone abnormalities. I have had chronic pain since I was 12 (18 yrs ago). Doctors have never taken my pain seriously until recently when I was properly diagnosed. I am now on Endep, Lyrica and Gabapentin which together helps with all my nerve pain. But even strong pain killers didn't help with my joint and back inflammation. I had heard about people having success with Prednisone but I had never really considered it for myself because I'm still young and had heard of all the horrible side effects. My pain had been causing me to become deeply depressed. Doctors were treating me like a drug addict whenever I went to ask for a prescription. I was getting to the point of being completely crippled and b...

How are you? Too many medications or not is a relative issue, it really depends on the person and the condition(s) being treated. There are people that take less than you and people who take far more. The question is, how are they working for you and how do you feel while taking them? Can you still function and stay awake? The FDA lists the typical side effects of Lyrica as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and weigh...

white, round, 20mg tablets. Depression?? ## just was given cipralex to try for depression and anxiety - been on zoloft, effexor then prestiq - just wondered if anyone has had any good results ## I have been taking Lexam for approx 4 mths and found it to be far better than Zoloft or the mulitude of others I've been put on in the past. As I'm single I can't comment on any issues with Libido, something that it definitely affected by Zoloft, but I can say that it definitely makes it easier to get up each day. I sleep less (unlike when on Endep) and have more energy than before. I've had no issues with weight gain for once. If anything I've lost a little because I'm not gorging myself with comfort foods. I hope it works as well for you. ## Escitalopram is used to trea...
