"i&#039;ve been on 300 mg of effexor for depression and anxiety for years.  last year i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. my rheumatologist  gave me amytriptyline because i couldn&#039;t sleep.  wow!!  what a difference.  i can sleep.  i&#039;m upbeat.  i feel great.  i am one of the few who has hallucinations - only at night, only when i wake up not long after i&#039;ve fallen asleep.  usually i see bugs - bees, spiders, etc.  they are always black because it&#039;s dark in the room.  once i saw white feathers coming from the air conditioner.  they usually stop as soon i become coherent.  it was scary at first, but now i&#039;m more conscious of it, so i usually just fall back to sleep. it&#039;s worth it to have my fibro and depression undet control."
