Amitriptyline & Diclofenac
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My Dr changed my med and I have no idea what or how these meds work.
I was taking Ambian 5mg to sleep for years, then it wasnt working very well, now Dr put me on Amitriptyline which kept me awake all night.
Has anyone taken it for sleep?
Also the Diclofenac for pain?

I have found that amitriptyline makes me very dozy, in fact I had to lower my dose and put up with some level of pain to function at all on it. I have met other people though, who have very disturbed sleep on it, and for some it induces nightmares. It's that frustrating thing that one remedy does not suit all. I wonder if anyone has taken it and had it settle after a while because sometimes you need to give things a chance before you reject them. Finding out how long you should try it for might be your next best move.

I haven't. The med I take helps me get to sleep but doesn't keep me asleep. Cannabis butter my friend gave me has been the best sleep aid I ever had
