Default amitriptyline - elavil
Hi
Has anyone tried amitriptyline (elavil) for RSD? It was prescribed by a new pain management doctor we saw today prescribed it.

Thanks,
Teresa

Hi, It has been used for many years here in Australia and has dual benefits of pain relief and an anti-depressant.
The outcome varies from person to person but I have know of many who find it helps a lot.

Amitriptyline works well for me. I take 80 mg before bed. I think that I have done much better after starting it because I am getting more sleep and able to tolerate the pain better.

What dose are you starting at?
