I believe these are the sideeffects of the drug,
but if it relieved the pain for you it worked.

Take care

I take Amitriptyline, 10 mg at night for pain relief. The side effect I get is dry mouth, not heard of getting a runny nose with it. It also does help with pain.

Do u suffer from hay fever or have problems with your sinuses?

Have you been taking this since Feb? I would say out of suggestion go and see your doctor or speak to a pharmacist. There could well be a simple explanation for your runny nose, or that it is a side effect from taking this drug.
