A member asked:

25mg amitriptyline (elavil) typically prescribed for what?

Number of conditions: Although originally the first tricyclic antidepressant, it was later employed to prevent migraine headaches, and even later used for trigeminal neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgias, and the pain of peripheral neuropathy. Actually, may be fairly efficacious, but anticholinergic side effects are intense and may well limit dosing.

Amitriptyline: This common drug is used for sleep problems and is probably the number one drug for patients with chronic pain. The deep sleep that Amitriptyline provides is restorative to muscles and joints and is great for those who suffer from pain.
