A member asked:

Amitriptyline 10 mg worked for fist 8 days but pain has returned in my feet again. should i stop taking the drug?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor.: For neuropathic pain, a starting dose of 25 mg Po at night might be what you need at this point. Don't stop it. Don't change it on your own. See your prescribing doctor.
