i have been prescribed endep to help me sleep 10mg at night but that did not work so the doc upped it to 20 that did not work so now i am on 30mg. I am concerned about the drowsiness during the day and the bad breath due to the dry mouth. I have also heard it can make you put on weight too
Yes, I have. And it is helpful in producing a more normal sleep pattern. But the primary benefit is that it apparently raises the pain threshold so that the pain associated with fibromyalgia may be significantly decreased or largely eliminated. It is by no means a cure for it, nor productive of complete symptomatic relief however, in my experience.
I have a CRPS (Chronic regional pain syndrome) and I have tried almost ever medicine there is. Im on Endep now, but only taking 20ml’s because im only 15. I haven’t noticed any difference in my pain, and im just wondering if being on the medi is a waste of time. Its making me sick, and my doctor is thinking of putting me up to 30ml’s.
Will it nudge the pain just a little? and how long will it take?
Hi taylaa,
I’m sorry that you’re having trouble at the moment. It’s really quite difficult to answer your question - CRPS differs so much from person to person, as does response to different treatments. Really, the only way you’ll know if it’s going to help is to try it, but I can understand your reluctance if the 20mg is making you feel ill as it is. As well as pain relief, amitriptyline is used in CRPS to help with sleep, so if you’re not sleeping it would probably be worth trying the increased dose. I was on 30mg with no effect other than feeling unwell - one minute I was agitated and the next completely bombed out. It did nothing for pain or for sleep.
If you don’t mind me asking, what other medications have you tried? Have you been through other interventions, such as sympathetic blocks? Ketamine? Have you got a good physiotherapist? There are certainly a huge number of other options out there, so don’t give up hope.
Good luck, and I hope that you find something to give you some relief. I’ve had CRPS for 9 1/2 years so I know how wearing it can get, especially when you go through treatment after treatment and get nowhere. If you want to talk or you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
