Hello. My Gp proscribed Amitriptyline 10mg. I took the first dose in the evening & the following day I woke up without tinnitus. However it gradually appeared during the day & it was even louder than before so I stopped the medication.

My question is for those who have tried low dose of Amitriptyline, is is normal to get worse before it gets better ? How long would I need to wait to notice the effect/improvement? Not sure if giving it another try.

    Hi

    I never been on Amitriptyline, but I had a very similar short term benefit on Diazepam, which was prescribed for a bad back, my T really diminished for about a week, but then returned, not sure if it was to do with quality of sleep.

    I was on Pregabalin for about 6 months, I do think that it's that, which has now made my T worse. If you ever offered that, just refuse it.
