The trycyclics are bad for the heart dont know about the liver. I would prefer to use them anyway if they didnt make me sooo tired! at 10mg of amitriptyline ( took for pain)i wanted to sleep allday!! at 10mg!!!!! but i would prefer triedness to nausea, vomiting, sexual dysfunction and things like suicide and emotionless feelings.
I wont get into that anyway as i would rather not resort to them myself.Thanks for your help!
