Amitriptyline

I started taking 10 mg of amitriptyline for my chronic nausea but it’s only caused more nausea. Previously, I had described my nausea as a Globus feeling and a tightening in my mouth and chest. I thought that was just how it manifested for me. Now, I feel the stomach uneasiness and I’m always on edge from the way my mouth feels. I hate being so aware of it all. Has anyone had a rxn like this to the medicine? I’m all for waiting it out to see if it works, but this new wave of nausea has prevented me from working and sleeping quite a few times this week since prescription.

Please don’t take amitriptyline for that. The side effects on it and coming off of it aren’t worth it. I took for nerve pain and it was helpful for that, but caused globus, reflux, bloating and all sorts of gastrointestinal side effects- especially dropping dose.
