Sorry you had a bad experience with amitriptyline (Elavil). I'm thinking about asking for it again to help with sleeping w/ chronic pain. It's a low dose for that - 25 mg IIRC. Do you recall the dosage for migraine prophylaxis and the S/E you experienced?

From some reading I've been doing lately, I'm wondering if those years on atenolol may have been a contributing factor in my PN.

Might be prudent to read up on the propranolol!
