Insomnia
"I have been taking 25 mg Amitriptyline for several years almost every night and really couldn&#039;t be more pleased and grateful. I call it my miracle cure for insomnia, as long as it&#039;s taken at the right time (9 pm). Too late in the evening it doesn&#039;t work very well. My initial dose of 50 mg caused too much postural syncope (dizziness upon standing). If I need to boost it, I can take 1mg melatonin, but I will have a later time to rise and a bit of a hangover. I initially took this drug for chronic dyspepsia and I suspect that routine use is keeping that at bay."
