Hello: You were on a fairly low dose. I wonder if this is related completely to stopping Amitriptyline or if you might also have morning sickness. Please discuss w your obstetrician. In the mean time, a simple way to reduce sxs is with ginger. You can drink slightly flattened ginger ale or nibble on crystallized ginger. Or pour boiling water over freshly sliced organic ginger & steep at least 5 min.
