LPR. Amitriptyline or SSRI?

Hello,

I’ve had mucus/constant throat clearing for about six months. Two months ago I suddenly got the dreaded globus (tight throat, lump, feels like I can’t breathe.

Went to an ENT and said he saw edema and irritation in my throat (postcricoid area). Told me I have LPR and to take 2x PPI each day. I also immediately started all of the GERD/LPr lifestyle changes as well.

It’s been a month and so far no progress. It’s mainly the globus/breathing that I am really struggling with mentally. Been to the ER twice. Had a ct scan of my throat. Endoscopy scheduled next month tv.

I am going to try to ask my doctor to try either Amitriptyline or maybe an SSRI to see if it can at least help me cope with this. The anxiety this has caused me is immense, I am barely sleeping from the discomfort.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Which medicine should I try out first?

Thanks!
