"i didn&#039;t have problems falling asleep, i just woke up every hour throughout the night.  my doctor noticed and recommended amitriptyline.  what a great drug.  it doesn&#039;t make me sleepy, but it really helps me sleep through the night.  it&#039;s not perfect, but like many folks, the stress of the day, just wouldn&#039;t stop bugging me when i was trying to sleep.  i&#039;ve been taking it for about three years now.  i take two -10mg pills each night and really appreciate the better sleep i get.  occasionally i forget, and find myself up at midnight, 1am, 2am 3am, 4am ... it&#039;s not a great way to sleep.  i haven&#039;t noticed any side effects.  it doesn&#039;t make me groggy in the morning, though my doctor said it might.  it&#039;s also inexpensive and generic."
