just thought i'd chip in here honey.Amitryptilline is indeed an antidepressant but during research they have discovered it is useful for other things as well,so they jiggle with the dose.Rob was prescribed 10mgs at night for trigeminal neuralgia,and then when he was in hospice they gave him 25 mgs at night to help him relax and sleep.I think as an antidepressant they are given three times a day.
by the way nice to see you back in the swing of things and wading in here
love and hugs liz
