The doctor listened patiently and answered all of my questions candidly and in layman’s terms that were easily understandable.

The only thing I didn’t like is the prep solution you have to drink, I did ask for alternative prep medication to take but she doesn’t have any. I heard there’s a pill you can take with the same results for prepping prior to the procedure. Plus that the solution was so expensive even with a discount. My insurance doesn’t cover it at all, and for being diabetic the solution was too sweet!"

"Hi Dr. Weinstock, thank you again. I had been meaning to tell you all this time, thank you for the Amitriptyline and giving me back my life, life just has been so busy and before you know it 3 years passes by. My constant nausea started in July of 2020, and I started Amitriptyline in Feb 2021 and by April 2021 I felt the nausea get better and better. I was able to go do travel nursing and go back to nurse practitioner school, which I had to step out this semester for spine surgery, but I would have never been able to do any of that as sick as I was, so thank you for listening and prescribing me the Amitriptyline. I mentioned it to another girl with the same symptoms as me, on a functional dyspepsia facebook support group, and the Amitriptyline took her constant nausea away also, and she thanks me all the time for sharing my experience with her. Here's to almost 3 years no constant nausea!"
