Amitriptyline - nightmares!!!

Hi Pink

I’ve only been on them a few weeks and have not had any dreams let alone nightmares since I started taking them. Initially I woke up to go to loo in the night but this has stopped now.

I’m off work sick though, and take 20mg around 9pm, and have discovered I can’t wake up and get moving till around 1030am which is weird given I would normally have driven 100 miles and done a couple of hours work by then.

However I accept that this is a new world and don’t make any appointments for the morning and don’t set my alarm anymore…I try and wake up naturally.

I’m sure there are tons of different meds out there though and think Brens advice is spot on… why stick with this drug if it isn’t totally working for you? Also agree with Bren… I’m not convinced it’s the Amitryptiline that makes me get words the wrong way round…
