Hi,

I take nortriptyline which is the metabolite of amitriptyline and thus causes fewer side effects. I have had good relief with it for CRPS burning pain. At 25 mg it made me dizzy and I did not acclimate so we just decreased the dose to a tiny 10mg. It doesn't obliterate the pain but it definitely helps!

Amitriptyline has about the worst side effect profile for its class. You might consider switching to another TCA.

Congrats on running! That is amazing and awesome.
