amitriptyline and other TCA anti-depressants (sleeeepy)

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

WOW 375mg is that not way over the max?? Everything I have read about it is quite dangerous at high dose that would have scared the crap out of me.

Not that many positives yet then!

not sure about what the max was, but that was what I was prescribed back then +20 years ago.

Tried 60mg of Ami. Was off me head. Never again. Bloody GPs sticking plasters over a bigger issue.

That's not quite fair - use of
Co-analgesics is for many a great relief. Side effects of Amitriptyline are often relatively well tolerated after a few weeks, so worth trying before resorting to surgical interventions etc.
(Which doesn't mean that your GP is not a useless knob!)
