Amitriptyline is actually an anti-depressant usually in the oral form. So, I can understand how that works. Anti-depressants have been widely used in nerve pain control. However, when I tried it, it made my hair fall out! Uch!

I am on Gabapentin and Perocodan. I just want to mention a lovely lovely cream that my Dr. has given me by prescription. I have it made at a compounding pharmacy - and let me tell you - it really helps quiet those nerves. The prescription label reads: Ketamine 4% Amitriptyline 2% in 100g of cream. Apply to painful areas once daily. This cream really works, the recipe came from a pain clinic in Vancouver BC. Worth a try, but in BC it is $67 for the 100g. But relief is worth it. Janet
