So I slipped/fell at work about 2 months ago.
Since then, I've been to an urgent care, ER, orthopedic and neurologist. (Which btw, the orthopedic sucks.) The neurologist prescribed me 2 meds (and WC only approved 1). Amitriptyline.
Before this, I never heard of this medication. I took the first pill last night, and I can say that I do not like the way it makes me feel, in the mornings (since this is the first morning, I think it's safe to assume that I'll feel this way every morning).
Anyhow, if you guys are wondering about the slip/fall, it was at the warehouse of the company I work for. My left foot hurts constantly (almost 3 weeks ago, the ortho gave me a cortisone shot, but it only worked for about 2 days); my left knee was sprained, but it's much better; back/neck pain; constant headaches (I even got a concussion); and the neurologist wants to do a test on my left arm because he thinks that in the fall I damaged nerves in that arm. Great.
Anyone have any experience with this med? I know that we have a few nurses and such on this board. I read about it, and it's primary thing is to treat depression (as it's an anti-depressant), but it also deals with eating disorders and preventing migraines?
