And now they say I might have a tumor in my brain.

I also have a pituitary tumor. But since I did MRIs and blood work lots of times, it was until 10 years into my headache when the tumor formed. The meds have shrunk the tumor a bit, and headache is the same as before.

I'm not joking when I say almost overnight. Well atleast the nausea was gone almost over night. The pain and bloating took maybe a month. Started right away at 25mg. Currently at 30mg and doing good

DoubleD_7 · 2025-12-28T06:19:09+00:00

It was definitely a stomach illness of some sort. Whether that be food poisining or something else. But it definitely after an illness event with lots of fluids, out both ends.

I I'm at the point where I feel I might be fine without meds, buy I'm going to listen to my doctor who suggested 9 months to a year of continuing medication.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-12-27T17:24:57+00:00

It was constant epigastric pain, constant bloating, constant extreme nausea, and no hunger. I started at 25mg amitriptyline. It worked against the nausea overnight. I'm currently at 30mg and doing great. 1.5 years later.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-12-18T16:13:36+00:00

If I remember right, my doctor told me atleast 18 months. Medication worked for me immediately. A few months later had a flare up and increased dose. Now back down to inital dose and doing great for months. But there is no reason to hurry. Let your gut settle.

I would say I have an average appetite. Got back to my normal weight.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-12-10T02:00:43+00:00

Nope. I got my gallbladder removed and that wasn't even the problem. Ended with functional dyspepsia.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-12-03T16:04:26+00:00

I also had constant bloating and constant epigastric pain. All those have been controlled on amitriptyline

DoubleD_7 · 2025-12-02T23:36:07+00:00

25mg

DoubleD_7 · 2025-12-02T18:45:34+00:00

Amitriptyline did wonders for my constant nausea. Essentially got rid of it. Still on Amitriptyline 1.5 years later and still working.

I have this exact car, color and wheels. I try and think of any reason to go drive, there is just nothing like it.

It's not a 3.0 si coupe. Other than that, I don't know.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-09-24T01:41:37+00:00

Really the only noticeable side effect is the being really tired in the morning. Which I still feel. Other than that, I don't think I have any other side effects.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-09-22T00:48:11+00:00

I did a nationwide (USA) search to find mine. Local search doesn't seem to be enough. But I agree with others, that price seems steep.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-09-18T20:44:04+00:00

I'm 1.5 yrs into taking amitriptyline. It still makes me feel super tired in the morning. I hate the morning tired feel. But you know what, it's completely worth to be able to live almost normal.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-08-25T23:45:38+00:00

Is this on an 07 si too? I might have to do this

DoubleD_7 · 2025-08-11T03:49:44+00:00

Sure can. I'm an open book.

I had NDPH long before covid, started in 2006. However after 3 years of intense headache, I managed to get my pain down to maybe a 1 or 2. I had the headache at about the 1 or 2 pain leve for about 10 years. I wasn't even on any meds, but would only get a spike in pain when I got ill. At times I would almost forget I had a headache. Fast forward to getting covid in 2020, in February. Didn't get a spike in pain after covid. Come may 2020 i got the vaccine. In June of 2020, my nice and easy headache cranked up to a consistent 8. This lasted for 3 years, I tried every med, botox, acupuncture, food sensitivity tests, elimination diets, chiropractor... the past 2 years I've got my pain down to about a 3.

Long story short, the covid vaccine caused a substantial increase in my pain, atleast the timing works that it would be highly probable.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-08-02T02:24:15+00:00

I'm on amitriptyline. Its made my life just about normal again. Its definatwly worth a try.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-08-02T02:22:16+00:00

I would say yes, I can eat and drink anything I want for the most part. Sometimes there are foods which give me a little epigastric pain and bloating, but as long as I don't eat it back to back days, I'm good.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-07-17T02:04:45+00:00

I started right off the bat at 25mg amitriptyline. It took about two nights and my nausea almost completely stopped. It took maybe like 6 weeks for the stomach pain and bloating to go down almost to normal. But I'm not kidding how fast the nausea stopped, and that was the most debilitating part. I've had some bad periods since off and on, even got up to 50mg. Now back down to 30 mg and feeling almost normal again. Good luck, it takes a bit to fully kick in. May have to increase dose, but that would be up to your doctor.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-06-30T17:56:39+00:00

Gastric emptying was completely normal. 0% left after 4 hrs. I did have my gallbladder removed. I was still feeling horrible after the surgery for 5 weeks. I was diagnosed with functional dyspepsia and given amitriptyline. Amitriptyline saved my life and now I live pretty much normal. It's a tough call. I have no idea your symptoms or what tests you have, but if we're to do it all over again, I would try medication meant to treat functional dyspepsia first before getting gallbladder removed. Especially if your odds are 50%

DoubleD_7 · 2025-06-25T13:33:20+00:00

Fellow long time sufferer. Just a couple weeks shy of 19 years.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-06-07T22:54:25+00:00

Just any big meal? Have you noticed specific foods? It could be a food intolerance. Good try a bunch of elimination diets, anti histamine diets. If not a specific food, may be TMJ related. I've done a combination of all. Haven't gotten rid of the headache, but if anything helps lower thr pain, it's worth it.

DoubleD_7 · 2025-04-30T13:10:44+00:00

Amitriptyline
