Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I was prescribed Cymbalta for a short time but I ended up with facial tics so the dr took me off of them immediately. He told me there was nothing else he could give me for my pain or symptoms. Last night at the local NAMI meeting we had some pharmacy students and doctor come and talk about pyschotropic medications. I found out that the sleep meds I am taking can cause vision issues such as cataracts (I have.). The lady told me to get off as soon as possible. THey had some meds listed as Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs).They are used for chronic pain also. I asked about these. She said they were very sedating but effective. I was wondering if anyone on this list took Pamelor or Elavil (most popular). If so, how does it work for you? The Elavil is used for several of the symptoms I have had for the past two years plus. It would be great if I could get off the two I take now and take something that would help my various pains. thanks, maryruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
