Hello!
I would really appreciate your advice on the use of Amitriptyline. Im a 25 year old female pretty healthy besides my long term anxiety and for the past few years chronic neck pain which has accompanied it. The pain has taken over my life, Ive tried so many things for the pain and anxiety but have been advised by my physio, rheumy and therapist to try this primarily for the pain since its apparently all down to muscle spasm.
Im generally scared of any pharmaceutical due to the side effects.
My main concern is if this works will i need to be on it forever? Or will it break the pain cycle curing the chronic muscle spasm? And when I come off will the pain be ten-fold cos ive dimmed it down for so long?
Anyone with experience or advice on this thank you so much for your help.
Very best wishes to you all
