Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hello Group: Today I went to see my Neurologist and because I am still having pain and and a hardness sensation on the bottom of my feet as well as tightness and numbness throughout my body his suggestion was for me to go on the Amitriptyline, I am curious to know if anyone here has had experience with this drug and if there is any interactions using it with LDN. I also forgot to ask him if it is safe to use seeing as I have a Mitral Valve Prolapse. ( leaky heart Valve and Palpitations) I am interested in hearing everyone's thoughts on this subject. I am dealing with MS and have reduced my LDN from 4.5 to 3.0 because of symptoms. I have been on LDN now for almost 6 months. Thanks everyone. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ You rock.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi Suzie, I took amitriptyline for years. It worked and I had no side effects. I have never taken LDN but I may start soon. I have MS and Crohn's. I took it for the Crohn's but stopped because the disease is pretty much in remission, so I didnt need it anymore. Hope this helps.Suzzie B <next2max@...> wrote: Hello Group:Today I went to see my Neurologist and because I amstill having pain and and a hardness sensation on thebottom of my feet as well as tightness and numbnessthroughout my body his suggestion was for me to go onthe Amitriptyline, I am curious to know if anyone herehas had experience with this drug and if there is anyinteractions using it with LDN.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 is amitriptyline a presciption med, or considered a supplement? and...what was it originally used for? sometimes, a med/supplement is originally used for one thing; but, we find it works for other problems, too!! marshiris@...

I have been onLDN now for almost 6 months. , Amitrptyline is an anti - depressant , and usually for pain control you are only given 10mgs whereas the usual dose is about 40 or 50mgs for depression, I take the 10mg dose for pain and also LDN, I have had no adverse affects, at least, not that I know of!!:-)) Celia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have been taking both for over a year now, Ldn for over 2 1/2 years and Amitriptyline HCl 25 MG for over a year now. I have had no side affects just the oppisite I feel much better. I am on a 4.5 dose if LDn and still get a few days of " stiffness " within 6-8 weeks. I was put on Amitrip for depression and to help me sleep. I was put on some of the others for depression and had bad reactions to them. I really like this combo, for me it works great. low dose naltrexone , " CELIA DANKS " <celia@...> wrote: > > Today I went to see my Neurologist and because I am > still having pain and and a hardness sensation on the > bottom of my feet as well as tightness and numbness > throughout my body his suggestion was for me to go on > the Amitriptyline, I am curious to know if anyone here > has had experience with this drug and if there is any > interactions using it with LDN.
