In reply to Nortripataline giving me insomnia ?, posted by rculater on April 12, 2009, at 4:42:38
I think SLS has a good point, that if sleep has always been an issue, then amitriptyline would be a better choice.
When amitriptyline is metabolized in your body, it turns into nortriptyline. Before it does, it has more of the antihistamine/sedative and anticholinergic stuff.
I never thought about it, but I wonder if someone could take the bulk of their treatment as nortrip, and then take a small dose (10mg-25mg) of amitrip for bedtime.
