Please can you tell me what my options are for numbing if I'm on amitriptyline?
Ive been getting anesthetic without adrenaline for some years after I felt ill after injections..
I can't even remember what I felt tbh, racing heart maybe? It was so long ago. I just remember treatment stopped after he checked my heart rate.. I remember I felt out of it/extremely faint.
What affect does amitriptyline have on dental anesthetic, generally speaking?
Just worried as I have a tooth with a possible RCT needed, yet I felt the drilling during the deep filling on that tooth.. So I'm extremely uncomfortable having my nerves drilled out given that I felt pain with just a filling.. Plus given the time it takes to wear off on me (usually within 40 minutes) it's making it likely it will have worn off before she finishes the rct..
I appreciate it can be topped up, but the pain before came out of nowhere, it was just suddenly extremely painful.
I don't know what to do, try anesthetic with adrenaline and risk those effects, or risk pain with non adrenaline injections...
