My husband (about 7 or 8 years ago), was put Elavil (to help with his neuropathy at bedtime). It did the trick beautifully BUT IT MADE HIM ITCH LIKE CRAZY. He has allergy problems with many meds.

But it took away his pain 100%. Too bad he had to scratch like crazy.

What's the expression? One man's (what??) is another man's poison??

Can't remember.

I take Amitriptyline to help with the bladder pain from my Interstatial Cystitis. It's really helped with that and it makes me sleep at night. One bad side effect of it is that it causes weight gain.......I sure wish there were only GOOD side effects and not bad ones!!
