I took Amitriptyline in May only for 4 weeks on a low dose of 10mg. Near week 4, I woke with crushing chest pains, I went to Docs who told me it was Acid reflux but did a ECG anyway which was normal.
That chest experience along with horrid cognitive difficulties forced me to wean off over a period of a week.
The problem is I am now having serious vertigo like,dizzy head, heavy head, out of it, drunk feeling, lightheadedness.
I can hardly walk without becoming unsteady on my feet.
I went to the Docs last week who said it was benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and said it will go away.
I dont believe them - im convinced the ami has screwed my brain up.
Has anyone else had a similar problem after coming off a drug ? Anyone had BPPV ? How long did it last this is horrid.
