A member asked:
Severe facial pain. i'm wanting to try amitriptyline for both my atypical odentalgia and anxiety in a effort to alleviate pain+step away from hydrocodone. how common is serotonin syndrome with this combo of medicine as i need taper from hydrocodone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly unlikely as serotonin syndrome is relatively uncommon. But, there are far more potent agents for facial pain and a local neurologist might modify your medication. Have found good success using Lyrica, gabapentin, baclofen, or Cymbalta...
