Gabapentin(300mg)

Amitriptyline(10mg)
Uses
How it works
Amitriptyline contains Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant. It has anticholinergic and sedative properties. It prevents the reuptake, and hence the inactivation of neurotransmitters called noradrenaline and serotonin, that are present at the nerve terminals in our brain. Reuptake prevention of these monoamine neurotransmitters potentiate their action in the brain. This appears to be associated with the antidepressant activity and helps in regulating the mood. It also stops the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain thereby relieving neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Frequently asked questions FOR Trypwave-G
Gabapentin
Q. I have been prescribed Gabapentin for pain. When will I start feeling better?
It varies from person to person. Some people take about a week or two before noticing relief in pain. Whereas, some people may see an improvement straight away. It is recommended that you take Gabapentin only for nerve pain and as advised by your doctor.
Q. I think I have gained weight since I started taking Gabapentin. Can this be because of Gabapentin?
Yes, Gabapentin may cause weight gain because it increases your hunger. Regular physical exercise and a balanced diet with low calorie food may help you maintain a stable weight. Consult a dietitian if you have any further concerns to keep your weight stable.
Q. For how long do I need to take Gabapentin?
Your doctor will decide the duration of the treatment based on your condition and your response to the treatment. For instance, if you have been prescribed Gabapentin for epilepsy, you may have to take it for a long time, maybe years even if your seizures are controlled. Whereas, if you are taking it for nerve pain and it has relieved your pain, you may have to take it for several months only.
Amitriptyline
Q. What other lifestyle changes should I make to get maximum benefit of Amitriptyline?
Antidepressants, including Amitriptyline, are just one of several approaches to treat depression. Certain lifestyle changes can help you get maximum benefit of Amitriptyline and help you recover fast. Keeping active and eating a healthy diet can make a significant difference to how quickly you recover from depression. Think positively and try to discuss your thoughts with others to reduce stress. Practice yoga or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep to calm your mind. Stay away from smoking or alcohol consumption as these will only worsen your depression. Take your medicines as prescribed even if you start feeling better.
Q. I have been prescribed Amitriptyline for pain. When will I start feeling better?
You may start feeling better after 2 weeks of starting Amitriptyline. However, it may take 4-6 weeks to see the full benefits of the medicine.
Q. Can I stop taking Amitriptyline when my pain is relieved?
No, do not stop taking Amitriptyline even if the pain is relieved. You should use Amitriptyline as advised by the doctor.

Consult your doctor for the duration of the treatment since the dose of Amitriptyline needs to be reduced gradually.
