"i have been on amitriptyline for only 5 days for chronic low back and leg pain that has plagued me for years, to the point of sleep and work related disruptions. i&#039;ve popped a zillion pain killers and anti-inflammatories. now taking only 10 mg of this medicine at night, no other medicines, and i feel better than i have in years, am virtually pain free and feel very energetic. i&#039;d say it&#039;s a miracle. i wish it had been prescribed years ago."
