I ditched the Amytriiptyline last night and took 12 1/2mg Nortrip. I already feel much better today, not so fatigued and sleepy. BUT, I only slept a couple of hours last night. My gosh that insomnia happened fast. I guess I'll have to get into the "sleep aids" but haven't been able to find one that doesn't give me a hangover, altho all I've tried are Ambien (Yuk), klonipin (double yuk) and Ativan (hangover).
Anyone have any ideas about an effective mild sleep aid?
Scott, do you think the Nortrip will cause me more insomnia as I take it longer? Pdoc didn't say anything about raising the dose or not.
Thanks so much for the encouragement to get off the Elavil. I don't know that I would ever have figured that out myself! I really appreciate your interest and help!!
