HELLO I HAVE HAD A KNEE REVISION 12 WEEKS AGO AND AM SUFFERING WITH IMMENSE PAIN. MY CONSULTANT SENT ME TO A PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST . ONE OF THE TABS HE PUT ME ON IS AMITRIPTYLINE 1OMG I AT NIGHT. THEY ARE MAKING ME SLEEPY AND HAVE CHANGED MY MANNER I.E VERY DROUSY AND IRRITABLE. I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS NIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK.
Hello, Amytryptaline is a very good tablet for neurological pain. Also, pain is associated with depression, anxiety and lack of sleep. These things also improves with Amitriptyline. So I would suggest you to continue with it. You should take it 3 hours before going to sleep. If you want then you can decrease dose also. Start with 5 mg.  If you are continuing feeling sedation then you need to check your other medicine also. As opioids Chat Doctor.  I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
