Amitriptyline and periods

Ok I didn't want to hog the anti depressants thread but kinda similar topic

Was prescribed Amitriptyline about 2/3 weeks ago from my TMJ problem (as a muscle relaxant and for the headaches)I am on 10mg with no other medicines. The problem is I was due my period on Sunday and it hasn't arrived yet and today is now Friday. OK i know its only a few days late but could this be due to the meds or maybe just that i am stressed out lately?

No, these's no chance I'm pregnant, but just wondering if anyone has experienced "disruptions" with periods while on this med. I'm never this late ... I'm 26

Any opinions welcomed
Thanks

Re: Amitriptyline and periods

I did but since I am 50 assumed it was due to the change. Never even thought it might be related to the meds - but I am not taking it regularly anymore and my cycle never returned either - no complaints here.

However since I didn't start amitriptyline until 2 yrs after the tmj pain I can tell you that from the onset of my tmj pain, my periods did change, were not as frequent, no PMS. and lasted only 2-3 days - at that time I assumed the duress and stress my body was enduring affected the hormonal balance as chronic pain can affect various productions of hormones and chemicals, increasing some and decreasing others in response to the pain, not to mention the endocrin system is affected - adrenaline, etc. But it could also be that I was going through peri-meno at that point, I am not sure.

Thanks for the reply Thelma -Louise ... wondering if even at a low dose that the amitriptyline would play havoc with the system ....

Nah..I don't think so anyway. i've been on amitriptyline for years and my period is always to the day on time. I'm 41. Maybe just stress.
