Triptyder 25mg Tablet contains amitriptyline which is an antidepressant that has calming and sedative effects. It works by stopping the breakdown of two chemicals in the brain, noradrenaline and serotonin, which helps in improving mood. Amitriptyline also blocks pain signals from reaching the brain, which helps in relieving nerve pain.
Use medicine as you remember to take. If the next dose is upcoming, skip the missed Dose. Do not double up for the compensation of missed Doses. If you miss a dose frequently then consult your Doctor.
A migraine is a condition which characterizes intense throbbing or pulsing headache, usually on one side of the head. It can last for hours or even days and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Neuropathic pain is caused by malfunctioning or damaged nerve fibers in the nervous system, affecting peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and brain. Damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to pain centers, causing central sensitization.
You should immediately consult your doctor or go to the hospital. Your suicidal tendencies may have increased because of your disease or the medicine. Generally, Sarotena takes about 2 weeks to show its effect but may take longer. Therefore, when you start taking Sarotena, you may have thoughts about killing or harming yourself. This is more common in people who previously had suicidal tendencies or are young adults (less than 25 years old). However, the effect of medicine is different for every individual.
Sarotena may cause drowsiness and dizziness, especially in the beginning of the treatment. So, avoid driving or using machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. Also, it is not advisable to drink alcohol during treatment with this medicine as it might increase sleepiness.
Antidepressants, including Sarotena, are just one of several approaches to treat depression. Certain lifestyle changes can help you get maximum benefit of Sarotena and help you recover fast. Keeping active and eating a healthy diet can make a significant difference to how quickly you recover from depression. Think positively and try to discuss your thoughts with others to reduce stress. Practice yoga or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep to calm your mind. Stay away from smoking or alcohol consumption as these will only worsen your depression. Take your medicines as prescribed even if you start feeling better.
Antidepressants like Sarotena help to gradually lift your mood. You may notice that you sleep better and are less anxious. You may worry less about little things that used to bother you. Sarotena will not make you feel excessively or unusually happy. It will help you feel like yourself again.
Yes, Sarotena can cause urinary problems. It is more commonly seen in elderly patients who are more than 65 years old. The patient may face difficulty in passing urine which can further lead to a urinary tract infection. Consult your doctor immediately if you develop these symptoms.
No, do not stop taking Sarotena even if the pain is relieved. You should use Sarotena as advised by the doctor. Stopping the medicine suddenly may cause unpleasant symptoms like headache, feeling unwell, sleeplessness and irritability. Consult your doctor for the duration of the treatment since the dose of Sarotena needs to be reduced gradually.
You may start feeling better after 2 weeks of starting Sarotena. However, it may take 4-6 weeks to see the full benefits of the medicine.
Do not take Sarotena during pregnancy unless recommended by the doctor. If you take this medicine during the last trimester of the pregnancy, the newborn may develop symptoms such as irritability, rigidity, irregular body movements, irregular breathing, poor drinking, loud crying, difficulty in urinating and constipation.
You may see an improvement in your symptoms after a couple of weeks, although it usually takes between 4 and 6 weeks before you feel the benefits. Do not stop taking Sarotena after 1 or 2 weeks just because you feel it is not helping your symptoms. Give the medicine at least 6 weeks to work.
No, you should use Sarotena strictly as prescribed by the doctor. If the dose exceeds, you may develop drowsiness, confusion, difficulty in speech, dry mouth, tiredness, difficulty in walking, fever, difficulty in breathing, blue discoloration of the skin and decreased heartbeat. Your pain may not be relieved because Sarotena takes about 2 weeks to show its effect, but it may take longer in some cases. The duration of treatment can differ from individual to individual. Consult your doctor if your symptoms are not relieved.
