Hi , just thought Id update you on my new med, Amitryptyline.
The hospital gave me this a/d to help stop my silent migraines, they are used at a low dose 10mg-30mg, where as for depression/anxiety they can be used up to about 180mg !!!
Anyway , for the past week I have been taking 10mg, and it is taking the edge off my anxiety , like when i went out yesturday I started to have a panic attack but when it happened it didnt peak as bad as it usually does ?
Its a strange feeling.
The hospital want me to increase it in a weeks time to 20mg, but Im no sure if I will , Ive notised they do make me feel tired and Im sleeping heavy.
As for my silent migraines , I havent felt off balance when walking , so it seems to be helping so far.
I will keep you posted on how its going , but wanted to let you know this is the first ever a/d that doesnt give horrible side effects, Ive tried so many before that made me feel worse.
Also i can take a propranalol with this a/d .
bye for now
