I have taken Amtriptyline for 20 years started on it for insomnia. I then developed burning skin pain, and no one ever thought it was the Amit. I wouldn't have either, except, I was put on Remeron an other anti-depressant , and first developed numb feet, and the the itching skin and then after a few weeks the burning skin pain. I am no off the Remeron, and the pain is back to the normal level. Now what to do about going off Amit is very scary. It helps the pain, but yet is causing the pain. does that make any sense. Wouldlove to hear from anyone else .
