    It was originally an antidepressant but is now used to relieve nerve pain. I was given it for stomach pain caused by gastritis ( didn't know it was gastritis at the time) and yes it did help but it is the only medication I've ever taken that knocked me out. Within half an hour of taking it I couldn't keep my eyes open and would sleep at least 9 hours straight through. It would also leave me feeling spacey and groggy the next day but this wore off in time.
