A member asked:
Been on 10mg of amitriptyline for 6 mo, stopped 3 days ago, think it's ok since such a small dose? made me feel worse.

Still can happen: Some people are quite sensitive to discontinuing even low dose meds especially when taken for many months. You could taper by breaking in half or including taking every other day if you no smaller dose.
