Re: [TMIC] Amytretaline (sp)
I take a very small dose of Amytriptiline for my bladder. It's way overactive, so I take 4 mg. Detrol LA at night, and 25 mg of the other in the morning... They are planning on doing botox on my bladder to calm it down. Laura You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. -James D.

Regina, OMG.I didn't realize that Amytriptilene was actually Elavil. I too was put on that for a short while back in the 70's for depression. I too felt 'right out of it' or 'stoned'. I couldn't take it then and guess I will just stick with the Neurontin.

I take Elavil 25 mgs each night and I take Lyrica 150mgs 3x daily. The Elavil was prescribed for me for bladder control. I also take Ditropan XL 20mgs at night.

Re: [TMIC] Amytretaline (sp)
This interchange is not making me feel too sanguine. I will start with a very sparing dose and see how it goes. I must also be a little depressed having just been diagnosed with TM (or something like it)so maybe it will help that issue.

RE: [TMIC] Amytretaline (sp)
I used it too, didn't work out too well for meIt is called Amytryptaline here in Brasil. I still take gabapentin and neurotin, valium, cymbalta and miosan plus prescription sleeping pills.
