A member asked:
Due to the diagnosis of cts, i was prescribed nerve pain tablets, currently i'm menstruating, and i notice it's heavier than usual, is this normal?

Type of nerve pill: It depends on what type of pill for nerve pain you were given. If it is the amitriptyline which you have listed under your medications, it is not the cause of a heavier menstrual period. Many things can effect how heavy your period is including the length of your cycle, diet, exercise, polyps, fibroids,and other medications or diseases. Hope this helps.

Highly unlikely: Since you did not name the medicine I can't say for sure, but I can't think of any "nerve medicines" that would have any effect on menstruation. So the answer is basically "no." In future i you choose to name the medicine we can give you more specific and likely better answers. Best wishes!
