Thanks Olly! I didn't know Amitriptyline is used for alcoholism and has that effect, but it explains why my PALS refuses any alcohol offered now! He was never a big drinker, but he would joke about when he gets the peg he can have a good swig of rum put down and things like that, but always says no to any alcohol offered.
Interesting!
He takes 20mg nightly, but it was prescribed to help with depression, so I'm interested too that you say it is usually higher doses needed for that. I feel it has settled his ftd to some degree, taken the edge off you might say.
If it is helping reduce his saliva I am thrilled because he has way too much thick saliva now, I'd hate it to be worse!
