Yep, unfortunately none of the treatment seems to offer overnight success …
Twenty four hrs ago I’d have agreed with you, but
Then last evening I read @borninmissouri’s post on amitriptyline under ‘really struggling could anyone help’. And now I’m wondering if he/she has hit on the magic formula we are all seeking. @turnitaround you said amitriptyline started working for you four days in but they seem to have topped you there! Amazing.
my Amitriptyline stories don’t end there … when I first took it it gave me euphoria … I was so happy I went for a 20km run and as part of that went for a sprint … and totally pulled my shoulder and was in total agony for days! Great drug!
Well it was bound to be the other wonder drug alongside Effexot cos it’s the two drugs I have counterindications for and aren’t even allowed to take it seems, so that figures. Propranolol is good to me. It’s just it took 8 months to really really kick in with me. I’ll try not to hold that against it too much. Helen
Hopefully the reasons for these differences in effectiveness for different people will come out in time …
Only thing I found when taking ami is within days my rocking had stopped but it made my heart rate go mental so after 10 days I stopped however I took nort for 4 months got up to 40 and saw little to no change the rocking got worse this baffles me till this day as they’re meant to sister drugs . I see my gp next week and I will most likely keep going higher I saw a success story on here of a lady who went to 240mg and was recovering so now I’m thinking maybe it’s a case of going higher than swapping
I believe Ami is a stronger vestibular suppressant (and one of the only ones you should take chronically). That may be why.
