Amitriptyline for sleep - side effects

[arfasc]

I am taking 10mg for almost 2 months now.
It always worked as I was waking up few times during the night and not anymore.
It's a bit more difficult to wake up at 7 the morning, but I am not complaining at all because it's much better than not sleeping!!

For one week I had anxiety and it was not working anymore.. but as I "solved" my anxiety I am sleeping again.

The pDoc told me that in the future I can use 10 and 25 mg in difficult moments..

I took 15mg last night at 9pm, slept from 11 to 7, best nights sleep ever. Groggy this morning but not as bad as yesterday (20mg). Think I'm slowly getting used to it. I have noticed its more difficult to gather my thoughts and articulate them and I am tired on a night before taking the pills so I'll be keeping an eye on that. Anxiety is easing off now I've had a few nights sleep
