HI everyone! I was on 5 mgs of amitriptyline for only 5 weeks (for migraine prevention). It wasn't helping and I was getting dry mouth/eyes so I decided to go off of it. My doctor said to just stop since it was a low dose for a short period of time. BIG mistake!! I'm having sooo many withdrawl symptoms. Nausea, shaking, cold/hot flashes, stomach pain, burping, head pain/pressure, severe fatigue, and body aches. Did anyone else have these symptoms of withdrawl from Ami? How long do they last, especially if you're only on them for such a short period of time?
