Yeah, I've had experience with Amitryptaline. I took it for depression years ago. It's not a nice drug and the doctor will need to monitor the dosage carefully.

I'll put up a couple of links for you to read. It's a good idea to do your homework, especially when it comes to pharmaceuticals.

This will tell you everything you need to know:
