I have just been prescribed amitriptyline for my back and hand pain. Have spondylolthesis (grade 1 in L4/L5) and ostioarthritis in both thumb joints...and am in a lot of pain.
I was on citalopram for about three years but weaned off it a month ago. I have got very weepy and can't sleep well... My GP has prescribed me 10mg to start off then if ok increase to 20 then 30mg... She said it might make me a bit dopey in mornings/hard to get moving. Has anyone found this??
I haven't had the prescription made out yet as not sure if to take them...I have my driving test at the end of the week and don't want to be sleepy I need to be alert. Any advice??
