Tricyclic antidepressants / SNRIs

[Ghormeh Sabzi]

Are these a no go?

My doc wants to prescribe me amitriptyline (Tryptomer, Elavil, Tryptizol, Laroxyl, Sarotex, Lentizol). I've asked for something for nerve pain I am experiencing, but this is something she has also recommended before I even mentioned the nerve pain.

Wikipedia says it acts primarily as a serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI).

Sounds too risky to me...

This hole crap started after the ssri i take (previously i had a very intense experience with cannabis) but the antidepressant it was to hard for my brain. I think the serotonin maybe overstimulate some part of the brain.....panic attacks, dr and trails appeared later.

Im not a doctor, and SSRI it's not the same as SNRI but think if you really need that.
