Hey,
This is my third day taking 10mg amitryptiline and it seems to have made me quite tired and lethargic but done little for my anxiety. I understand what type of anti depressant this is etc, and sometimes it takes weeks to work but was wondering what other oeoee experiences are with this drug. Also in relation to alcohol with it as I'm single, 20 and enjoy a night on the town every now and again and I don't want this to get in the way or it really.
Cheers
Hi i am on amitriptyline 10mg you do know your supposed to take them at night? I've been on mine nearly 2weeks now feeling loads better although i think i need to be on a stronger mg hope they start working soon for u x
10mg is the lowest dose I took for just over a week and couldn't cope with the side effects, mainly tired and ringing in my ears, not being able to wake up on a morning. My GP says you need a 50mg does for anxiety/depression and I couldn't have handled that. I went back on citalopram. Also not a good idea to drink makes the effects even worse.
My doctor only gave me 10mg and knows i suffer really bad anxiety and depression also knows i ended up in hospital because of my anxiety il be going mad with him on Monday lol x
Have you tried any other medication?
Yes, Citalopram which i hated and prozac but didnt give it much of a go.
Hi, yes I take them around 9 at night but seem to be quite tired throughout the day and find it hard to get up in the morning which is unlike me as i usually spring out, glad to know theyve made you feel better, bit of motivation to stick with them as i usually give up! x
Stick at the amitriptyline it might help you everybody is different.
