Hey Tracy, I also take amitryptaline for its muscle relaxing properties. I just always make sure I take it an hour or so before I want to go to bed, and it definitely keeps me from waking up all night because of the pain. I've been on it since Dec. 99. It has done a lot for the spasming pain, and yes, I definitely know what you mean about the bowel effects. I also have IBS - if you're having a lot of gastro symptoms, you might want to check into it. In fact, my GI doc did a bunch of tests and told me that my IBS is, get this, worsened by the endometriosis. And one of the 5 docs I've had in the past three years told me that the muscle spasms ARE related to the endo. She said it was like when you get a headache, eventually your neck hurts, too, because your body has been trying to protect your hurting head, and in the process, it wears your neck out. For the spasming pain that is linked to my bowel disorder, I take an antispasmodic, and I've learned a few lamaze-like breathing techniques that work pretty well if the pain is bothersome and hurty, but not so bad you want to cry, you know what I mean?

Good luck, hope this helps, Jen G.
