Dear Donna

since you're not bipolar i don't think you need to worry too much about mania.

Amitriptyline is - as Mari said - an AD. it is in the tricyclic class, an older one, brand name is Elavil which you might have heard of. it is chemically unrelated to Cymbalta.

It is prescribed off-label as an aid in different pain syndromes, for sleep, and for migraine prophylactic treatment (and possibly more). i have not tried it personally, but since you've got that going as well i wonder if you might not want to try it - you might kill two birds with one stone...

something to ask a doctor about. you should ask about the relative risk of weight gain too before you get sold on it.

and with that, i pronounce this thread Officially DERAILED.
