Insomnia
"I suffer manor depression anxiety and insomnia.
I was on trazadone 100mg, which I cut back to 50mg because it&#039;s very sedating.
I switched from trazadone 50mg to amitriptyline 10mg to start 2 days ago.
It is not as strong as the trazadone but does the same job, although I may need a higher dose eventually.
I don&#039;t wake up as groggy as with other meds and sleep well.
So far so good not many side effects but some dry mouth. But I am also switching from cipralex to Effexor so it&#039;s hard to tell which side effect is coming from which med.
But I do think this med is helping for sleep and anxiety. Btw I was addicted to benzodiazepines for years so this is a good substitute for addictive meds."
