I was told a long time ago when in the throes of bad back pain that the tricyclic antidepressants relax muscles and help you sleep. I didnt like the idea of them because I knew they promoted weight gain which would have depressed me further!
I eventually settled on a very low dose at night for a while but didn't want to depend on them so came off after about 6 months.
Get as much advice as you can from other people like us or from the many websites.
Good luck
Lynette
