I would not expect a regular doctor to know the details about this drug. Perhaps some neurologist or anesthesiologist might if they work in a teaching hospital.
Most doctors don't know that amitriptyline is on neuropathy lists as "toxic".

When I try to decrease it even by 10 mg the burning gets worse. I take 85 mg at night. I always new when I went higher my skin would burn more, and when I took 75mg my skin would burn more. 85 mg seemed to be the right dose for me.
