"i don&#039;t remember since when i stated to have insomnia , usually it takes me 2+ hours to fall asleep , and i always wake up a few times at night . i tried to do excercies to make myself tired , still no improvement on my sleeping . things even got worse recently , i went to my doctor and he put me on amitriptyline 10mg . omg , it work so well , the first day i took , i had slept like 10hours (was at weekend ) .  i am on my third week with amitriptyline, my doctor prescribed me only for a month , i don&#039;t know if i can sleep well without it after a month . but this medicine makes me very calm and happy everyday because i can sleep well and wake up every morning refreshed ."
