A member asked:
Does taking tricyclic antidepressants such as amitridmline cure or temporarily dampen pain signals due to nerve damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amitriptylene: Yes, amitriptylene at low dose can help dampen pain signals. I wouldn't say it "cures" them (meaning restores the condition back to normal) -- but it ameliorates the symptoms.
