Amitriptyline for fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain: An Assessment. Amitriptyline (once known by the brand name Elavil) is a tricyclic antidepressant that is often prescribed in low doses to treat neuropathic pain. Before there were any FDA-approved drugs to treat fibromyalgia, amitriptyline was also frequently prescribed off-label to treat FM symptoms. Although it is no longer considered a first-line treatment for fibromyalgia, a number of FM patients still find it helpful.
I started taking flexeril ages ago for pain from fibromyalgia. Back then, I could only take it at bedtime, as it turned me into a zombie. But it allowed me to get a good nights sleep, and I woke up fine in the morning. However, if I tried to take it during the day, it would knock me out.ild drowsiness. I have lower back issues and I take Flexeril to help with the pain. I am prescribed 10mg and I DO NOT have any of the same side effects as other users on this site. No hallucinations, no coma like sleep, it just takes the edge off the pain so I can go to work and take care of my daily responsibilities.
