				 Amitriptyline need an alternative! 
 Hi I havent posted for a long time because my neck pain is gone (or it was when on Amitriptyline).  I developed Interstitial Cystitis which I am convinced was due to the differing and large amounts of pain killers including Lycrica I was taking for my  neck pain.  I was still in alot of neck pain  6 moths post 2 level ADR surgery when I was prescibed Amitriptyline for my bladder.  It in fact stopped the neck pain!  Now I have recently had a catherter based treatment it flared up the bladder and I am now reacting very baldy to Ami when I am totally reliant on it for my neck pain.  Any ideas on either how I can reduce the irritation in my bladder from it ar an alternative? to Ami?  thanks Mazzie
