Hey there, so I've been on amitriptyline since around december last year, taking 60mg every morning, first thing. Obviously I didn't begin with six, that's only been a few months. Anyway, I happened to think it would be a brilliant idea to overdose on it a couple days ago. I took around 50 10mg pills. Because of this I can't take it for fibromyalgia anymore. So I'm going cold turkey on a recent huge dose of amitriptyline and I have no idea what to expect and would like to hear your thoughts and insights.

Truly appreciate it!

    Came off 25mg in Sept, as not helping me and having side effects. Three months later faced with crippling physical and psychological symptoms. God knows what to do now.
