What is Amitriptyline used for ?
I have an ileostomy and a get abdominal pains sometimes when i eat , strain myself or even walking or standing to long… i wa son vicodin for almost 2 months and now they referred me to pain management and they gave me Gabapentin and Amitriptyline.
Back in the 70s it was used in high doses as an anti-depressent. Now, it’s mostly used for anxiety, sleep issues, and low-grade pain. They might be using it to try and help you relax.
And like the person said up there, it does have some wicked side effects. Make sure to keep in contact with your doctor.
