"i was prescribed this for vulvodynia after seeing 2 gynecologists with no clue what &quot;disease&quot; i &quot;had&quot;. my third gynecologist put me on 25mg each night, after a year of experiencing excruciatingly painful intercourse for no apparent reason. after just 2 weeks, amitriptyline successfully took away the pain! i&#039;m so thankful for my gyno&#039;s knowledge of this drug and her shot into the dark on prescribing me this, despite it rarely being prescribed in an obgyn clinic!"
