Good Day My 4 year old grandson was prescribe Trepiline ( 1 in the evening). He started stuttering and when we went to the doctors to see what the reason could be, the doctor prescribed the above and said we should see what reaction this has to the stuttering. Is this correct? I feel very uncomfortable with the medication! Thank you ## Did the doctor posit any theory on why he might have started stuttering? This medication contains the active ingredient Amitriptyline, which is a tricyclic antidepressant that has quite a few medical uses, so it can help if his problem has been caused by something such as anxiety, ADHD and several other possibilities.

I can't seem to lose weight since ihave gained over 20 kg since starting it, not even weight loss supplements help. I've lost my libido and my hair falls out constantly. Theses are only tabs I'm on except for my vitamins. Is there a way to get my weigt and life back? Alternative tab that side effect could be weight loss instead? Any help be welcome. ## Hello, Sam! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. Yes the weight gain, lack of libido and hair loss can all be side effects of this medication. However, I'm not sure what else is available for you that might help with your migraines. Have you consulted your doctor? ## I have jus...

I am on stresam 50mg and have now gotten a trepiline 10mg prescription today to take at night before bed. Is it safe to use both together? I don't want something strange happening to me at any point. ## Has your doctor instructed you to take both of them? Stresam is listed as containing Etifoxine, and Trepiline contains Amitriptyline, they are sometimes used together, in cases where someone has severe anxiety that is resistant to treatment, but in such cases, their doctors should be monitoring them regularly, in case of any problems. The U.S. FDA warns that combining such medications may cause more severe side effects, which may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, sedation, and somnolence.

Can trepiline be taken after I have stopped taking lyrica? ## I have taken Lyrica 50mg at night for a week. My doctor feels it is not necessary as it is not working. Do I have to taper off to stop, or can I just stop? Also would I be able to take 10mg trepiline once I have stopped the Lyrica or will I have to wait two weeks before commencing it? ## What has your doctor advised? I'm not seeing any serious issues between switching from Lyrica to Amitriptyline, but you should follow whatever instructions your doctor has provided you to get the best and safest outcome.

I am currently taking 10mg of Trepeline at night and 300mg of Epleptin 3 times a day due to severe pain in my back and spasms in through out my body. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about 7 years ago but it is now in remission. Do these tablets cause weight gain? ## Trepeline contains the active ingredient Amitryptiline, which is a tricyclic antidepressant that the Epleptin contains the active ingredient Gabapentin, which is an anticonvulsant, though both of these have been shown to help with various types of nerve pain, such as yours. And yes, they can both cause weight gain as side effects. Learn more Trepeline details here. Learn more Epleptin details here.

Pls advise ## This medication is used to treat depression and anxiety, it may take 4 to 5 weeks to reach its full effect in your body to see if it is going to help you. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, and weight changes. How high is your blood pressure?

I am trying to withdraw from trepiline by taking half a tablet (10mg)per day instead of one tablet. I am getting palpitations could this be from the trepaline. ## Hi, Margo! Sorry about the palpitations, they can be miserable and frightening. And yes, it could be from a too rapid dose reduction of the Trepiline, this can happen with antidepressants and that's why the dosage is usually very slowly reduced to taper off of them, rather than just stopping suddenly. If you were on a 20mg dosage, then the first step for tapering would most likely have been going to 15mgs. Learn more Trepiline details here. Have you consulted your doctor? You need to do as soon as possible, because there is also a chance that the palpitations could be due to something else, so you need to have them checked...

i have been taking lyrica for burning pain in both legs in front 75mg am and pm. There is no improvement have switched to trepiline 10mg 2 days ago. No better. What do I do now lil ## How are you doing now? Did you give the Trepiline more time? These are not actual analgesics and neither of them will work like they do and it can take several weeks, before you will know if it's actually going to help you. Trepiline contains the active ingredient Amitriptyline, which is tricyclic antidepressant and these can sometimes help with certain types of nerve pain, but two days is not nearly enough time for it to actually work. You can read more about this medication on the page for Amitriptyline Details. Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do.

Hi my 16year old son is using trepiline 10mg but i only gave him half of it because his tired during school time but now is getting nausea is it the side effect of trepiline that makes him feel nausea. ## Hello, Nicky! How are you? Yes, nausea and drowsiness can be side effects of this medication, as reported by the U.S. FDA. He may also experience dry mouth and weight changes. How long has he been taking it? Typically side effects are transient and will go away after a few weeks, once your body gets used to a medication. If he's tired during the school day, you could try giving it to him at night, as long as his doctor approves.

Im on co-diovan 160 and bilocor 5mg twice a day + trepelene 25mg. My docter prescribed demetrin 10mg twice a day. I want to know if it is safe to use all these medications together. ## I haven't found any interaction information on Demetrin (Prazepam), but as far as the others go, there are potentially unsafe interactions found between all of your medications. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: The following applies to: Trepiline (amitriptyline) and Co-diovan (valsartan + hydrochlorothiazide)… "Hydrochlorothiazide and amitriptyline may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure.
