Anti depressants/ nerve pain

[Desdemona]

Figured if anyone has good reviews about AD's it's people here. Anyone here try any triclyclic anti-depressants? I really need something to take the edge off but I don't want to completely fry my brain and mess with chemicals

What has been your experience with any meds? Mostly looking to see what worked well. I'm scared of making my tinnitus worse. Also have a couple nerve conditions so TCA's are preferred to SSRI's

I didn't know tricyclics were still on the market.

I have a mild scoliosis. They added Amitriptyline to my meds, 10mg that then went up to 20. It worked really well at first but I've found it doesn't work so well now (a year or so on). I get really tense when I'm anxious though which doesn't help my pain. The Ami does help me sleep though.
It's always worth a go!

They're commonly prescribed for chronic pain such as nerve pain, idk if they're given out specifically for mental health issues
