First time trying amitryiptiline, no improvement in sleep or pain

Doxepin

I used that one for a little while. I felt good initially but it started to give me vivid nightmares where I would wake up and not know what was real. Medications work differently for everyone. I hope it works for you.

Remember that a lot of medications will not have immediate side effects. Don't give up!

Try upping the dosage I started out with 10 now I’m at 25 still able to wake up at a 8 I take it around 9 pm

Hi!! I take amitryptalline for headaches and fibromyalgia. Im on a super low dosage (10 mg) because I think the higher dosage I was on was causing my heart to flutter and feel weird. I find that when I don't take it I feel much more tense, but I think it might be one of those medications that take a little bit to work for some people depending on how tight your muscles are. Im not sure how long you've been on it, but I would take it for at least a couple months before deciding to stop taking it. Hope this helps a bit!

I was on that my doctor prescribed it and it did not help me that I know of but then again they started me on 4 different meds but my psychologist said it is for depression and was making my bipolar much worse.

I use 50mg nightly along with lots of other meds. I never know when my meds are or aren't working because I take so many but I guess it is working. Helping me sleep along with Serequel.
