the neuropathy pain in my feet were so bad I didn't feel like it was worth living with! From the first night I took this I have had zero pain. The side effects however have been constipation and weight gain. I had gain alot of weight due to my foot pain and no I have been gaining more. I hope to find an anwser for the weight, but I can not go back to that horriffic pain. It has been a God sent!!!

What's worse migraines with fibro and arthritis, or cotton mouth, constantly dizzy, stuck in a fog, and gaining 20+ pounds? I'm sorry it's almost worth dealing with the horrible natural pain than the horrible misery these pills put you in.

I am taking the medication for migraines. I am sleeping at night which I don't do. I don't feel groggy in the mornings but I do have the dry mouth, swelling hands, weight gain and increased appetite. I don't like the side effects at all. I am going to talk to my doctor for a second choice.

If this medication is to help pain than they need to make sure that it does work on pain. I feel this medication is not for that and that doctors should prescribe it for the reasons it was made for.

I don't really know what is worse, the occasional migraine or the side effects from this stuff. Dry mouth, weight gain, drowsiness and yet sleepless. I think I'd prefer another option

This is the best medication for depression. I have tried a lot of others and this is the only one that does it all for me. I have been on it since 1980.

If you have problems with headaches, take the medication that is used to treat them. Do not take an antidepressant for this condition even if there is a chance it would calm them.

I work nights and this medication is supposed to be taken at the same time every day which is very difficult. Plus it made me very tired I would sleep for 10-15 hours a day (wow)! I was constantly confused like i was wondering aroud in fog. Plus the doctor started me on 1 pill for 3 days, then 2 pills for 3 days, then 3 pills for the remainder of the month!

I'm using Pamelor/nortryptyline for sleep. I have fibro and don't use it as an antidepressant. I haven't had a "hung over" feeling in the morning.

I have fibromyalgia withh migraines. I take this medication for the migraines but since i've taken it i've been sleeping through the night, don't have muscle pain and haven't had a migraine at all. I do feel groggy during the day but I can live with it better than the pain.
