I don't remember what the mg was i tried Amatriptolene and I'm not sure if it was becaue of some bad reaction or what, but I reacted very badly to it. Personally I didn't notice any difference but I was also on birth control at the time which always made it painful. There's always something in giving it a shock. Different treetments work for different people. I wish you luck.

anti-depressants & side effects

Hi all,

Quick question - My PT has mentioned to me the possibility of using low dose anti-depressants (ENDEP)for a while to assist in reducing my pain. Has anyone had any success with this & /or had any side effects? I read recently about it making some people feel dizzy/faint and that concerns me.

If you have tried them, how many mg's did you use?

Thanks so much!

I would suggest you try taking GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) before you try

any antidepressants because it might help and apparently does not have side

effects. It is available OTC but I get it at IHerb.com.

You can read about it at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA and many other places. Just Google GABA.

Antidepressents made things worse for me. I find a vodka martini does a better job! I gained 20 lbs. when I went on the antidepressents. I am a very high energy person and it drained me. I didn't even want to get out of bed in the morning. The burning stopped for about a day then returned. I finally went the natural route and looked at this a total body balance issue and that is what has helped me. Diet, supplements, and hormones.
