    Hello Yabi

    I have heard that some experience coughing after stopping Amitriptyline but I think at 4 months you need to see your Doctor to get this checked out. It is a long persistent cough and may be due to something other than withdrawals. You should never just stop a drug like this as after 6 months your body has become dependent on it and the withdrawals can be quite severe. It is always better to taper down slowly to give the central nervous system time to adjust. What dose were you taking over the 6 months?
