A member asked:
I am taking amytriptiline 10mg for tension headache for 6 weeks. have some tip of tongue numbness. is it side effect of medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tongue paresthesia: Numbness, tingling sensation, and other symptoms involving the tongue are not uncommon side effects of amytriptiline (elavil). Keep in mind that combination of headache and tongue numbness may be due to a linked and more serious neurological condition and not necessarily be from the amytriptiline.
