> The success rate of amitriptyline probably exceeds that of Effexor. Aside from the pronounced anticholinergic side effects, some people experience profound sedation and somnolence with amitriptyline. I hated the way I felt on it. However, others seem unaffected and do extremely well. If you do experience sedation immediately upon taking amitriptyline, that does not mean that you will be affected long-term. Sedation often resolves with continued use. The anticholinergic side effects can mitigate as well.

Did you experience the sedation/somnolence?
