Amitriptyline's side effects usually go away within 1 or 2 weeks. It also takes some time to get going.

It is worth trying because there is a recent study showing it may enhance nerve growth factors, and hence healing.

Nortriptyline is amitriptyline's metabolic derivative and may work in the same way. Many people here in the past and currently use one or the other.
