DSCH,
Well, I adopted this cat through my vet, so she knows Chloe pretty well! Based on that alone, I think the Amitriptyline is an ok choice.
Otherwise, do you know where I can get more info about the side effects seen in cats on Amitriptyline? For a few days, things were getting better, but this weekend, after about a week on the drug, my cat is just lethargic!! She's acting like she's mad at me, she's not eating very much, she has little interest in playing, etc.
I just want my cat to be happy!!!!!!!
She's on 5mg in the AM, do you think I should alert my vet or just wait it out? I noticed similar side effects (zombie behavior) when I started Lexapro... but they went away after a week.
Any advice? Thanks!
love memma
