Hi everyone. I was newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia and RLS last month. I went to the rheumatologist today and he prescribed protriptyline. He said the pharmacy would have to order it, and he was right. I know it is a very old drug, but does anyone have any experiences to share regarding effectiveness and side effects. My neurologist put me on Fetzima, and the side effect of profuse sweating is unbearable, and I'm hoping to be able to wean off soon, if the protriptyline is even mildly effective.
