Does Amitriptyline help with Ovarian Cyst Pain?

I've got what I'm 99% sure is my 4th large ovarian cyst 😢 (scan on Monday to see what's going on). GP has prescribed naproxen, tramadol, codeine and amitriptyline to see what works. Codeine is pretty ineffective for me and naproxen and tramadol combined seems to be the best combo and what I've had previously to cope with the pain. I've never had amitriptyline and a bit scared by all the side effects and not sure if it'll help even.

Wondering what other people's experiences are of amitriptyline for ovarian cyst pain? Was it effective? What side effects did you find with it?
