FED UP - ODD THINGS GOING ON

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

After having an appointment with an Ann Conroy affiliated

consultant. He checked me over and has confirmed my own

neurosurgeons findings that the decompression surgery I had was

successful. The only problem being, I don't feel good.

Between the Pain Management Dr, two Neurosurgeons, and my own Dr,

they all agree I should try Amitriptyline again, as they feel the

first time I used it, I didn't take it at high enough dosages. So

yesterday night I took my first dose 10mg. When I woke up this

morning, I remembered why I didn't like taking it the first time. As

the day progressed I got progressively worse. Terribly sleepy,

muzzy, woozy head, feeling like i'm not on this planet, nearly passed

out in town. I came straight home and slept all afternoon.

Also I woke up this morning with a numb arm, which is still numb

now. I also for the last week have been experiencing a shooting pain

in my hip, normally only at nightime. Now today I have had the

shooting pain all day long.

I just dont know what is going on with me, I am dreading going up to

50mg with the Amitriptyline, which is what the Dr's seem to want me

to do. What will I be like then?

I am just so fed up with feeling rubbish.

Thanks for listening
