I was on it for 6 years it's more a sleeper, the idea being if we are rested we'll get less pain, I had terrible restless legs with it. I don't use a sleeper now as I'm trying to reduce meds, I'm lucky enough to be able to sleep when I need to...anytime lol
It's worth a try, work through the initial side effects...about 10 days n see how u go, we all seem to work differently with different combinations, since I've started exercise I've managed to reduce my meds to just 11 tablets a day n 8 of them are just over the counter pain meds!

Been on it since 2007, it's for sleep and for headaches. Very effective.

My GP started me on one before bed but then my new rheumatologist upped it to five before bed. I haven't slept this good in YEARS!! I would wake up all hours of the night and have to get up because the pain was so bad! Some nights I couldn't fall asleep because of pain! Now, I fall asleep no problem and sleep right through til seven or so in the morning! I though four or five was my wake up time for years but thanks to this wonder drug, amitriptylene, now I sleep right through which is awesome!!! I would recommend it to anyone having trouble sleeping because of pain!!!

I use 100mg before bed which helps me sleep and helps with nerve pain xx

I take amitrypriline 30mg going to bed after many years and lots of different meds, I find this helps but still in pain everyday I just think the amount of meds expected To take and side effects from them are not good I only take pain meds when I can't cope anymore as this is only way they work as taken continually you build up a tolerance to them . I have osteoathritis rheumatoid and fibromyalgia.
