Amitriptyline for Somatoform Pain Disorder User Reviews

"I can't rate this medicine enough, as the doctor said to me it saved his life. I know what he means by that now. I suffer from depression and was on sertraline. However, it caused me problems in sleeping and staying asleep. For years, I also suffered pain in all parts of my body, which caused me to have panic attacks too often. So, with sleep being the problem and no more sleeping tablets left, I was allowed to get a doctor-prescribed amitriptyline. So, I started, and from day one, it changed my life. I can sleep well and no longer have panic attacks over pain and have 90% less pain anyway. I also still take sertraline 100 mg and amitriptyline 60 mg, so it has sorted my somatization disorder and sleep problems. Miracle."

Amitriptyline "I've been using Elavil for almost 4 years now and can't live without it! If I run out before I can get to the pharmacy, my symptoms return with a vengeance and I feel awful again! I would recommend this medicine to ANYONE dealing with pain, insomnia, or depression to consider this medicine! I started off on a low dose (25mg) per night, now only on 50mg, and I have NEVER done so well in my life emotionally or physically! One of the negatives for me has been weight gain and now high blood pressure because of the weight, BUT I tell everyone I'd rather be fat and happy than skinny and miserable!"
