Z just started on a low dose tricyclic anti-depressant, Elavil
(amitriptyline). It helps him sleep and seems to raise the pain threshold for many conditions that produce low grade but chronic pain. It seems to be helping at least a little so far. I think it also helps with the low grade (mostly!) psychological pain and anxiety. He only take 10mlg, about 1/10th what people take for depression..but still. It has no major side effects and has been used for decades. Any one else out there tried it?
