[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1936400, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=492680]@DaveXF[/USER], I believe amitryptyline in small doses such as 10 mg is used as a first step treatment for neuropathic pain and taken regularly as it is not a painkiller as such. It is supposed to take some weeks to start working when taken regularly and needs to be taken regularly to maximise its effect. google 'neuropathic pain'. Of course other causes for neuropathic pain besides diabetes need to be ruled out because another cause might be treated differently.[I] What are these 'nerve pains' like? How would you describe them?[/I] A relative of mine takes amitryptyline at night for other reasons and was told to take it about 7 pm to try to minimise drowsiness the next morning. Looking forward to your reply.. [/QUOTE]
