question?

hi lollypop. i started off on 20mg amitriptyline and helped for about 18 months then Dr put it up to 30mg. I still wake up through the nite 2-3 times and since being on them getting back to sleep is easier. i to wake because of pain and the loo. i walk around a bit get back into bed and back to sleep. i should ring Dr and see if he could put them up. i also take parasetamol and tramadol through the day 14-16 in all

sorry forgot to send gentle hugs and hope you are having a reasonable day.xx

Hi lollypop

I started on 25mg, then because i was still waking each night although did manage to go back after a while , also i have probs with migraines and leg pain they put it up to 50mg. This is too much for me as no matter how early i take them i still sleep the next day away. Although i do take a 50 if i am so tired and know i havent got anything to do urgently the next day.

I would give them another week or so, or ak the doc if they can put the dose up a little more.

Gentle hugs. xx

Hi there I also take 20mg of Amitryptiline each night and have been finding recently that I have been waking throught the night with aches and pains all over some nights its every hour others I dont wake at all, I think in my case it depends on the position I sleep in or what I have done during the day I dont know about you but hey knock me for six so I dont want to increase the dose however give them a few more nights and if you find they are not helping go back to the docs I hope you get it sorted Hugs to you Sparkie x
