I just ordered new furniture to be delivered on Sat. and I don't take chances. Let us know how it works for you.
1st, I thought (but could be wrong) that the amitriptyline WAS considered the kitty Prozac. That is what mine are on now. It DID work, but it seems to have stopped working. Possibly, like in humans, a product for depression/anxiety could stop being effective and need to be changed.

2nd, these are capsules, and they are 25 mg, with the dose being 1/5 a capsule per day. (5 mg per day, same as your cats). It is worth a try.

3rd, I just asked the vet office to order the Clomicalm. When they priced it out, they got the generic. They did not specify the amount ($$$$) difference, but said it was SUBSTANTIAL! I got 100 capsules (500 doses) for $16.00.
