In reply to SAROTEN?, posted by tecknohed on June 13, 2013, at 18:41:51
Saroten Retard (amitriptyline) is a product by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, available in Germany and possibly other countries. Depending on where you live, it may be easier to "simulate" a slow-release formula by taking regular amitriptyline two or three times a day, but I totally understand the idea of wanting to try a SR formula. I'm surprised it isn't available where you're at.
The link you posted is a South African package insert, but it's already relatively old, so I'm not sure how up to date it is. But I can confirm that the German version is still on sale as of two weeks ago ;)
Hope this helps!

P.S.: The German word 'Retard' and the English word 'retard' share a common root, but they're not identical. 'Retard' simply means slow-release.
