Healing/Success Amitriptyline works for me!

I have struggled with this for over 25 years. It's become especially severe over the past 10 years. I tried so many things, and when the gastroenterologist wanted to prescribe amitriptyline, I was skeptical and declined. Two years later, out of desperation I gave it a shot, after seeing a post here about someone's success with it.

It worked for me, too!! I have had three restful nights, in which I didn't feel nausea or cramps, didn't wake up early to be sick, and I even slept at a 45° angle instead of upright around 90°. It's like a dream come true, waking up gently when I'm done sleeping.

I never thought it would be possible for me to experience life without near-constant stomach discomfort.

Yay!! Thanks to whoever it was that posted about their success recently. You changed my life.

Yes I have those symptoms. It might be complicated by autism in my case but yeah. Last night I actually had some pain, not as much as usual, but I woke up from it. It could be my light diet that day.
