I never thought it would be possible to reduce Amitriptyline from 175mg to 25mg. I have taken it for more than 10 years, for chronic pain. It took me only 3 weeks to get from 175mg to 25mg. I did experience severe withdrawal effects, the most problematic was/is insomnia. The next step is to reduce to 10 mg, and eventually not take it at all. I take 9mg of Melatonin for sleep, not sure how effect it is, some nights are better than others.
I am still thinking of going for ketamine therapy for my chronic pain, pity it is so expensive. The initial therapy plan is 4 hours of ketamine infusion per day, for 6 consecutive days, then once per month. The treatment center is 90 km from where I live, will have to book a nearby hotel/guesthouse to reduce traveling expenses (Uber).
Recently been suffering from severe depression episodes, as I start to realize that I need to work MORE, else things will definitely not workout for me over the long-term. Working with this much pain is not possible, so I better make a plan at the soonest. If ketamine doesn't work, then I am officially out of options, then I can honestly say that I have tried everything, and that my life is over, as a disabled person.
