On endep 10mg getting sicker everyday.

Hi Theg, I assume your GP is trying various meds to control insomnia and anxiety? I, like you, have side effects to many drugs and it is very hit and miss. If you can't talk to your GP for advice and are sure it is in your best interests to discontinue, cut down very slowly ie take one every other day for at least a week, then one every 3 days for a week or so, then if you are feeling alright cut down to one every 5 days before coming off them completely. Please see your GP asap to advise you are coming off your meds and talk through alternatives. I hope you feel better soon.

Hiya...Theg, i wouldnt go off it, give it time..a few months, we are all so different..this is my info on the med. I wouldnt do without it..for sleep and pain for sure.

Amithriptilyne is  the only med I take for Fibro...gives me a great pain free sleep..- no pain..still feel a tad drowsy waking up...but that sleep is what makes this Fibro manageable for me..only get flare ups now..once  it was just constant  pain almost everywhere and sleepless nights..I take it 7pm before bed..it really does work wonders ( for me..that is,) we are all very different..I take 25 mg...never had it increased either ...started on 50mg but I was like a zombie...all the next day..dropped to 10mg for a while-still not too good but 25 mg is perfect for me..it is actually an antidepressant that works excellent for pain..it numbs the nerve ends and stops the pain from jumping on to the next nerve..hence a very painful body...the antidepressant is probably a lil bonus as most of get depressed from time to time..yes it does knock me out to give me that great sleep which is just sooo needed, to be able to deal with the pain etc the next day..but once I'm up and dressed..I'm fine.....Its great...16yrs down the track..have to be woken up in the morning..but once up and about I'm just fine.....when I was first on them I was like a zombie..but it's like a miracle med for me... it takes a while to settle in. ..also, please remember that less stress is the key to Fibro....be blessed..have a lovely day..:-) xxx
