Hi been on 10mg Amitriptyline since last Monday which seemed to sedate help me sleep, Not flat out would still wake 3am or 4 then take 15-20 mins to sleep again, which has been a godsend as have had major issues prior to that ie, some nights 1 or 2 hours sleep at best. before prescribed.
Have had no real noticable side effects what so ever so far, which is great as worrying reading all them side effects that come with the pills, I know there possible side effects (doesnt mean we will experience)
I know its a minute dosage only 10mg, well worked fine upto the weekend & although im more lethargic on it now, sat & last night seems to have worn off a tad, im still feeling better for being on it ie not so anxious when im awake trying to get back to sleep, is this possible that i have became tollererant already as i thought it was quite hard to build up tollerance with ? only thing i will say is i sort of split the pills & take over 2 hours or so, start at around 10-12 last one, then sleep after, so effectively 2.5mg a time over two hours,
you think i should just take the 10mg in one go ?
Also any one know crucial time or recommended time before taking ? for more effective sleepiness ?
dont really want to pester doctor again so soon ? im sure she said could take 2 if needed ??
any help from anyone on ami & sleep experience appreciated
Thanks
