Morning everyone
I'm currently prescribed Amitryptiline 50mg at night for my anxiety, which is always at it's worst in the early morning. However, I have been told and also read somewhere that this is a sub-therapeutic dose for anxiety and/or depression. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
I'm going to see my GP as well this week to get her opinion, but I'd like to have some ideas before I go. I've had intolerable side-effects with the SSRI/SNRI medicines that I've taken and the one TCA that did work very well for me (Dothiepin 75mg at night) was withdrawn :mad:. Any thoughts/ideas for going to my GP would be great as I dread going there too.
Thank you
Martyn
