    Morning. It does sound like a reaction to me and you're wise to come off it. Get help if you feel worse.

    Yes, sounds like a bad reaction. Trouble is, we're all different. I can't take amitrip at all, even a low dose knocks me out but I can take industrial amounts of Tegretol which only give me a bit of a skin rash on upper face. There are loads of people on this site and elsewhere who have really complex reactions to some drugs. You're very wise to reduce your dose slowly over a few days and then stop it. Trouble is, you'll need to get something else, especially if you can't sleep with the pain. Your practitioner should be able to sort you out quickly.

    Good luck
