    I am not a doctor.My wife used this medication for the same disorder.This is what is known as an "off label" use.This medicine was originally made to treat depression but was found to have theraputic affects for fibromyalgia.Your perscribing doctor or pharmacist are 2 excellent sources of any more info you may need.Best of luck to you.

    Tricyclic Antidepressant. (TCA) It's used for everything from carpal tunnel to bed wetting in children.


    A doctor has to monitor a child closely.

     antidepressant drug, also used for pain, weight gain, and other medical reasons. Widely used is TCA.


    Do not give this drug to anyone under 24 years of age. increase suicidal thoughts. There is a public heath warning on this drug.
