Committee Recommendations (1)
Imipramine is no longer included in local guidelines for use in neuropathic pain.
Imipramine should not be initiated in any new patients for this indication.
Amitriptyline is the only tricyclic recommended by NICE. It recommends a switch to another class of drug if amitriptyline is not tolerated or contra-indicated.
See guidelines below.
