"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."
