Re: Can amitriptyline cause depression in the non depressed?

[Guest guest]

a couple years back they put me on it . Their reasoning was that depression

cause pain ,and pain caused depression. I had to get off of that stuff in a

hurry , weird dreams. and when awake I think it just caused more depression.

My familiy doctor put me on alprazolam (xanax) 1mg. a half of a pill in the

morning, and the other half when I went to bed. These are really low doses but

they made a world of difference in me.

Most of the time to tell the truth if some one has bad chronic pain there is

some depression there also.

Hi

I apologize for the miscommunication. I just wanted to say

that if you were taking amitriptyline (Elavil) and have

stopped taking it, you should do it slowly.

I hope I was clearer this time. Here information about

amitriptyline from drugs.com:
