Does Amitriptyline Cause Adverse Side Effects In The Long Run?
I m 75 and have been taking 25mg amitryptiline off and on for several years (one at bedtime) now my PPO pharmacy refuses to fill it for me. I am not frail or incapacitated nor do I use alcohol or any other sedatives. I am healthy and active - I don t want to take something else that I am unfamiliar with. What s the problem? Thanks Art

Hello,
Long term use of CNS drugs is not recommended and might cause some problems. You can try other drugs like citaloptam or clonazepam.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
