I'm prescribed amitriptyline for facial nerve pain - been on it since2014 and it works well.

It takes a while to work initially - a couple of weeks for me.

There were initial side effects - I was a little drowsy and my mouth was often dry....but both those things disappeared completely after a while.

I started on 25 mg daily, increased it to 50 mg when the pain resurfaced after a fall.
