About amitriptyline and prothiaden
Anyone can help to decide the blurriness and blood pressure increased 140/90 due to amitriptyline 50mg is normal or if I change this into prothiaden 50 then these side effect can reduced. Amitriptyline 50mg after 21 days helped a lot. I can do my works and everything is ok. Only sometimes blurriness and slightly fluctuates blood pressure and some wt lift is as a side effect. Dr suggested stop amitriptyline and start 40mg fluoxetine in the morning and clonazepam. 25 mg at night. But I don't want to stop suddenly after 24 days.

Hello, as you have been doing well on amitriptyline hence do not suddenly change or stop the dose. Gradual rose reduction or cross tapering under supervision of doctor is recommended. When dose is reduced side effects will also subside
