A member asked:
Am prone to constipation and excruciating hemorrhoids. will 10mgs amitriptyline make problem more extreme, or are side effcs unlikely at low dose?

Depends: If you get side effects, you get them. Every patient is different. If you aren't already, you should be on fiber supplements 2-3 times a day, plenty of fluids (apple juice is wonderful) and lots of fruit and veggies. Use vaseline down below. If you still struggle, you have to weight the benefit of the medicine vs the problems it causes. Many have stopped Amitriptyline due to the contstipation.
