Amitriptyline 10mg


just for tonight,I havent slept well for days maybe 3-4 hours instead of 9-10 i used to have, really depressed and feel down down too.

i wear contacts and my eyes also dont feel like they are recovering.

or is it something that takes a while to start working.

That drug wont help in the short term. It takes a few weeks to build up in the system. One side effect is anxiety when initially taken (even though it can be used to treat that condition)which will subside over the first few weeks.

Why dont you try something like Natra Sleep or Kalms. They have worked for me in the past.

Why are you feeling down?

If you're not sleeping because you're depressed it would surely be better to address the depression rather than the insomnia?

If you're down because you can't sleep then go after whatever is preventing you from sleeping


And wear your glasses, I find sore contact eyes are one of the worst things to make me feel like crap for the day...
