insomnia
"My sleep has progressively gotten worse as I have grown older, now 60.  I have tried five other drugs with no success.  Lunesta worked better than others but would only work a couple of nights then nothing and I felt groggy and had constant headaches.

The doctor gave me Amitriptyline 50mg and the first night, while a little jittery I fell asleep in about 20 minutes and slept most of the night, getting up and changing rooms, then falling back to sleep again.  The second night I tossed and turned most of the night.  Tonight is number three so I am hoping that the side effects subside.  Will update in a few days.  I am still battling major headaches with this drug as I did with Lunesta.  Hoping for success tonight."
