i think Viepax (effexor) and defenetly Cymbalta are considered a newer generation of the Amitriptyline .
(i know you don't take Amitriptyline and Cymbalta toghther cause they work the same way...so maybe you can check this info. if the Amitriptyline made you allergic.
(of course non of the meds is free of side effects)

Hi Crystal,
I was previously on Amitriptyline and I had an allergic reaction (skin). I desperately want to try another antidepressant. Can you describe the pain that you experience? I would really appreciate hearing about your journey. Thanks Crystal!

I have 24/7 pain in my teeth and I have found Amitriptyline at 100mg/day to be the most effective at combating this particular problem. It is well known for its abilities to fight neuropathic pain, and it's dirt cheap. It's definitely worth talking to your doctor. Feel free to message me if you'd like to know more. Oh, it's also used to prevent migraines, so it might help that too. It's been a life saver for me. I hope you find some relief soon.
I will do some homework before going to my doctor. I am going to tell him about the drugs that are being used for TN and I would like to try something.
