Re: Amitriptyline
Hello :)
I had a low dose of Amitriptyline (10 or 20mg I think) for a while to help me sleep. From what I remember, it was quite good and did help me get some kip. I don't recall having any side effects at all, which was good.
I'm afraid I don't know much about it's effects on anxiety, but I certainly didn't have any problems with it.
Good luck xxx :flowers:

Re: Amitriptyline
Hi Emily :hugs:
Its only natral to feel a little worried when taken new meds, please don't be to hard on yourself :hugs:
When I was acute, I was put on this med, a small dose, 10mg, I was told by my gp, because of my worries of taken meds, that this med can be givin to children, in a small dose, who do not sleep well, this did make me feel a little better.
I feel that this med for me helped, I had NO, side effects at all. if you look at the bottom of this page there are other threads there with more info in them.
Hope this helps a little
GOOD LUCK HUN :hugs:
LOVE JILLXX

Re: Amitriptyline
Hiya
It's a big thumbs up for this medication from me. I had tried 2 different types which didn't work out but then when I was put onto Amitriptyline it was a big improvement, especially in getting a good nights sleep every time.
It did take a little while for the effects to kick in and please ignore the terrifying list of possible side effects you get with the pills... I didn't experience any of them at all, and as Jill has said, it is also recommended for children.
Take care and I hope you're feeling better soon.

Hi Emily
I've been taking a low dose of amitryptiline (10mg) for three years at least.
I went to the Priory and was prescribed it there. The man said this dose
is equivalent to a half a pint of beer and chills you out. I take it at 9 p.m.
and it just slows you down a little bit for sleep. This dose is not very strong
but it is good.
Good Luck
Gill

Re: Amitriptyline
Hi
My doctor has just given me amtriptyline 10mg for sleep, but I am only to take it 2 nights a week. I have only taken one tablet so far and it was quite good, but never gave me a full nights sleep. It does relax you but at this dose it is a sleeping tablet. What I want to know is when people take it (for sleep). Do you take it a couple of hours before bedtime, or do you take it just on going to bed? I took mine at half 8 and I was in bed by half 9, although I dont think I got off to sleep until about 10.30. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks. And anyone taking these dont be scared, they are mild.
