( I take 25 mgs after dinner to try to have it worn off by morning.) My "official" diagnosis is: Intractable Chronic Daily Migraine and Moderate Myofacial Pain. | I have been taking this for 1 year. I am happy to say that I rarely wake with disabling head pain in the night-comes on during the day instead! Am taking lots of meds. so it's hard to know what side effect is directly linked to Pamelor. | F | 39 | 1 days | 9/10/2007 | 3 | migraine | very tired,sluggish,sweating, anxiety, mental fog. | supposed to increase slowly to 100mg. | F | 59 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 5/21/2010 | 5 | depression. and moods swings | Redness on th face | It's. A wonderful drug with less side effect n mod enhancer I love it after trying different antidipresan for10 years I finally found panel of I hope the redness on my face goes a way | F | 42 | 2 days 25mg 3x a | 1/29/2015 | 4 | Atypical facial pain | Tiredness - mostly overcome with time. | Now trying to withdraw from several years of taking 25 mg/day and the withdrawal symptoms are hard to live with. GI disturbances, gas, chronic gut noises, headache, restlessness. You are supposed to slowly decrease the dosage, but when you are taking the minimum and the drug is in capsule form there is no way to go but cold turkey. | M | 73 | 2 days | 7/14/2005 | 3 | Migraine Prevention | Hypomania, Gas | I have been waking up with horrible migraines for a year and a half and I have tried beta blockers and topamax which didn't help at all and these are the first days I have woken up without horrible migraines. I just started it so the migraine was still present but I was able to function so much better for the first time. The only problem is it triggered hypomania but I have suspected for sometime that I might have bipolar disorder | F | 19 | 2 days | 10/17/2007 | 2 | Sleep aid | none | nothing except maybe even kept me awake at 10mg dosage. Sposed to help me sleep. Am supposed to up dosage to 20mg at night after three days at 10mg. Kinda afraid to though because it seems to wire me out like coffee. | M | 36 | 2 days | 4/7/2004 | 2 | Failed back surgery/insomnia | Fatigue/Sleepiness! (not at night) Slight weight gain-5 lbs. in 2 weeks. Huge cravings for carbs/sweets. Did I say overwhelming sleepiness? | Started on 25 mg at bedtime 2 weeks ago. Told my doctor today that the daytime drowsiness was too much to tolerate. Ambien-10mg still not enough, but will seek other answers. Have tried lunesta before. | M | 38 | 2 days | 4/2/2008 | 1 | Migrane/Depression/Sleep Aid | Fatigue, fast heart rate, nausea, dizziness, chestpain, and difficulty concentrating. | For about half a year now I've been getting steadily more frequent and more intense migranes. I've tried almost every kind of medication for it. While most of the others simply didn't work this one actually made me feel worse. Not only did I get all the side effects, but my migranes have persisted as well. And I take it at bedtime to try to make me sleep, but it only makes me tired the following day it seems. It's been difficult to move around much for the last day; I have almost zero energy. | F | 16 | 2 days | 6/8/2007 | 1 | nervousness/colitis | caused severe chest pain - crushing pain, then severe joint pain in hips, shoulders which lasted 2 days. worst 2 days of my life. I had just had my annual exam and EKG, how could I be having a heart attack 2 days after my check up. Unlikely!!! but it was brought on by the drug | Dr prescribed Pamelor, it was filled by a generic made by Teva. I submitted a report to the FDA. | F | 50 | 2 days 25mg 1X day | 10/22/2010 | 5 | extreme anxiety/panic attacks | Just started taking it, but major heartburn and waking up about 4am (sleep really good till then) | Really hope this works....tried like 12 antidepressants and couldn't handle any of them!!! Guess this is last resort. Also am on klonopin or xanax (switch up sometimes) | F | 38 | 3 days | 11/1/2007 | 1 | Migraine | I was very drowsy but as that wore off I was very agitated and I was hearing voices in my head. My ears won't stop ringing now. I don't know if I will ever be back to normal. | This is a scary drug. Here are some of its side effects. Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); blurred vision or other vision changes; changes in sex drive; chest pain; confusion; constipation; fainting; fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; fever; frequent or difficult urination; hallucinations; impulsive behavior or other unusual changes in behavior; jaw, neck, or muscle spasms; mental or mood changes (eg, increased anxiety, mood swings, agitation, irritability, nervousness, restlessness); panic attacks; ringing in the ears; seizures; severe dizziness or drowsiness; sore throat; stomach pain; suicidal thinking or behavior; swelling of the testicles; tremor; trouble sleeping; trouble walking or keeping your balance; twitching of the face or tongue; uncontrolled movements of arms and legs or stiffness; unusual bleeding or bruising; worsening of depression; yellowing of the skin or eyes. How could the FDA allow this poison on the market? | M | 57 | 3 days 50 1X day | 6/18/2012 | 4 | recurrent migraine headache | F | 41 | 4 days 10mg 1X day | 6/10/2010 | 2 | severebody pain all over. | No pain relief help or help with sleep insomnia. | F | 39 | 4 days 10mg | 11/8/2014 | 1 | Chronic migraine | Confusion, unreal-feeling - like my body wasn't mine. | Though I took a small dose it was still too strong for me. Felt completely unreal. All symptoms were still there but I just didn't feel them, I hardly felt anything which was frightening. Heavily sedated feeling. Back to Amitriptylin. | F | 45 | 4 days 20 1X day | 6/24/2014 | 1 | Chronic Pain | Auditory hallucinations, felt like I was detached from my body, Was in a stupor, | This is an example on the another dangerous poorly tested medication approved by the FDA big Pharma lapdogs. | M | 58 | 4 days 40 1X day | 1/25/2024 | 3 | Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia | dry mouth, super drowsy during the day at first but getting better, more alert at night now, dry mouth, metallic taste in mouth, vivid but not unpleasant dreams. | F | 39 | 5 days 25mg 1X day | 10/1/2014 |
