I am currently taking amitripyline for insomnia, depression and anxiety. How long do I have to take it before the effects of the drugs kick in? I’ve heard about two weeks, is this true?
Also, I take 25mg a night. Should I up the dosage or no?

Side effects on Amitriptyline?
August 30th, 2010 Dr. Consultation 
Taking Amitriptyline and I just now noticed this side effect maybe?, on the side of the bottle. It says “You should avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to the direct and/or artificial sunlight when taking this medicine.”
What exactly does that mean? And why should I avoid sunlight when taking this medicine?

What are the long term effects of Bactrim/Septra.?
August 25th, 2010 Dr. Consultation 
My mother (she’s 50) has been on Bactrim for several years now due to reoccurent UTI caused by a bladder ulcer. What are the major concerns for taking this over the long term (other than bacteria resistant infections) Also she had an episode of tachycardia (160-172) for an hour and the next day she checked her B/P and it was 86/72. Her pulse is usually in the 60′s and her B/P is normally 110/70-ish. Could this have anything to do with her long term Bactrim use? (And yes I already told her to go to the Dr.’s, she is there at this moment…I am just trying to find out for my own information) Thank you everyone who answers.
