    Amitriptiline for vestibular migrane

    Hi I am new in this group......

    I suffer panic attacks when I find out stressful news, my heart starts pounding, heavy breathing, my hands gets cold. I suffer of low blood pressure so sometimes it triggers it. I can control it but is more difficult at night when I woke up with palpitations and everything is turned off (no light) I feel better at day time when I am with anxiety problems.

    A couple of weeks ago I started suffering from vertigo due to vascular migrane. Its not fading away but some days are good and some bad. I just had a vertigo episode at night and it trigger an ugly panic attack, because I was tired of having this vertigo and also because it made me stay awake and I was exhausted....

    My Dr prescribed me Amitrip. 10 mg for 1 month until the vertigo fades, but I am affraid to take it because I hate drugs, and I hate been drowsy.

    I am planning on taking one doe of 5mg if I got a panic attack, but need to know if someone has done it (just 1 dose)

    Also can anyone taking this small dose can tell me if you are knocked out completely or you can wake up easily at night if you have to? I dont feel confortable with the sensation of been completely knocked out, because I usually sleep well and never ever taken any sleep pill in my life (I only weight 113 pounds and my height is 165 cms)

    Thanks in advance !!!

    My GP gave me amitriptyline to help me with back pain last year. I took 10mg as the tablet had not a line in the middle to half it. It was good for my sleep.
    I stopped them about two months ago, but started them again this week as my back pain came back. I had better sleep too.
    I just woke up at normal time. No bother there for me
    It is trail and error time for you.... Good Luck.
