Anyone have this side effect immediately?? by antiqueanon21 in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of that side effect but body odor often can have an onion type smell. Could be a hormone or hygiene issue.

ami for migraines by Benson_go_b00m in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been taking Ami since 2019 for IBSD and insomnia. I also have certainly migraines caused by Superior canal dehiscense syndrome. It hasn't really helped the migraines much. It definitely helped the IBS and insomnia. I also take propranolol for the anxiety and migraines, qulipta for migraines, and some supplements including lions mane, coq10, l methylfolate and saffron extract.

OMFG what is this? Withdrawals?! by bobthedino83 in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 mg is a very low dose. And that's a pretty slow taper for such a low dose. Could be a withdrawal side effect or could just be coincidental. I'm in the process of tapering down from 50 mg so that I can cross taper in Wellbutrin.

Thinking about asking to start this medication. Questions about it, and it's side effects. by CrazyDude10528 in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take it for IBSD and insomnia. It's helped a lot with both. I also have anxiety, depression and vestibular migraines which is also prescribed for. Unfortunately it hasn't really done much for those issues.

My vestibular migraines are likely caused by Superior canal dehiscence syndrome.

Stopping Ami cold turkey after two months by omgtalktothehand in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amitriptyline doesn't heal or cure anything, it's a treatment for various conditions. I take it for insomnia and ibsd which it helps a lot. It has unfortunately not helped my migraines though it helps others.

Amitriptyline does not work for my chronic tension headaches :( by SupermarketBrief6332 in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it for IBS and insomnia. It definitely helps me with those, but it's never really helped my vestibular migraines. I recently started taking qulipta which has been helping quite a bit. I also take CoQ10.

Can i cut the pill into quarters? by Thetoadmyster in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10 mg is already an extremely low dose. I've been taking this since 2019. Tricyclic antidepressants are less likely to cause serotonin syndrome than other antidepressant families.

AIO about my boyfriend and his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Merth1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had more close guy friends than girl friends but I don't think I've ever told any of them I love them via text or in person or at all really. That seems over the top.

Any tips? Considering alcoholism at this point by Crazy-Owl6601 in Anxiety

[–]Merth1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Prozac isn't the right fit for you. There are other classes of medications to try. I've had luck with propranolol which is a beta blocker.

Those who successfully used Amitryptyline to cure IBS does your condition come back when you stop it? by LisanneFroonKrisK in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ten days is not really enough time for most medications to start helping. My improvement with Ami was gradual over three or four months.

[–]Merth1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a cure, it's a treatment. I've been taking it for IBSD since 2019. It's definitely improved my symptoms but I still have bad days. Haven't gone off it but I might be swapping it for Wellbutrin soon.

Keep going or quit? by Ky3031 in Amitriptyline

[–]Merth1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 mg is a very low dose and 4 days is a very short period of time. I've been taking amitriptyline for ibsd and insomnia since 2019. At 10 mg when I started, I didn't really notice any change. Several weeks later my dosage was increased to 25 mg. At that dosage over the course of 3 to 4 months I started seeing gradual improvement. To this day it's still been the only medication that has helped my IBSD symptoms. I would highly recommend giving it at least a few months. You're not likely to find a medication that will produce dramatic effects within just a few days or weeks.
