What would I need to say to get an amitriptyline prescription?

[Pryras]

I have an appointment with my GP next week and want to get my hands on amitriptyline. If you've been prescribed this medication, what did you say to get it?

It's prescribed when depression doesn't seem to respond to SSRIs, SNRIs, and NDRIs. It's also used as a painkiller (neuropathy, migraines etc). I was given it as a sleeping aid (lowest dose)

Just look up the drug info to see the indications for its use.
If it was me I would complain of depression & tell my Dr I have tried numerous antidepressants that didn't work but that amytripiline worked well
