At one time i was taking 150 mg of amitriptyline at night and 25 mg in the morning, it definatley helped with the burning & sleeping, i did notice it give me a craving for sugary foods but i still managed to loose a lot of weight still, i suppose it depends on how serious one managers their diet.

Thank you . That is good to hear that it helped with the burning,
I am hoping it will do that for me. I thought that was the case of watching what you eat, and if you can excercise to do so.

Hi Jess,
I took Elavil for 3 months last summer. I did not gain any weight at all (I was hoping I would!) but it did not help me with any of my sx either. Hope it works for your pain! Kelly

none of the RX drugs used for burning/pain HEAL you.
They mask symptoms only. There are other things you can do to heal yourself. Brian for example, no longer needs Elavil, because he made choices to heal himself.

Thank you Mrsd, I understand that. What do you do to heal yourself? I exercise, have always watched what I eat, meditate, and still have a chronic nerve problem that interfers with my life. I am unable to sit and the pain is only manageable through meds right now.
I know they dont cure the source, but I am working on finding out what that source is. |

In some cases the source can be avoided,treated, kept under strict controlled or even cured depending on what it is. For example, b12 deficiency, diabetes, exposure to toxins, chemotherapy, compression, etc.
