"i have had sleeping issues since a teenager and was finally diagnosed with childhood onset insomnia. at times less than 1 hour total sleep a day for 3-4 days in a row. at the age of 42 my dr prescribed elavil (amitriptlyne) and it changed my life. its really cheap about $30 cdn per month, doesn&#039;t store in your fat cells and is non addictive. i take 50mg at around 9pm, fall asleep around 11 and get a great sleep straight through until 6-7am. no grogginess, some slight dry mouth. for me, it doesn&#039;t make me drowzy but it does help me stay asleep which was my problem- waking regularly through the night. good, luck, hope it works for you as well as it has for me!"
