I've been on 50mgs Amytriptyline at night for some time now, however I find it doesn't have a great deal of effect on me. I've tried varying the times I take it at but I still get nights where I don't go to sleep for several hours; neither do I wake up with a "fuzzy" head like lots of people I know!
Do other people find it has little effect? My sleep is very disrupted - I can;t remember the last time I slept throughout the night
I wake up several times, either with pain; hot flushes & needing the loo.
What helps people to sleep well?
I'm on that too but I take mine for fibromyalgia to help raise my pain threshold, also helps my muscles to relax too especially during the night so that I can sleep better, perhaps increase the dose and see what you think then.
It doesn't work for everyone unfortunately, maybe speak with your GP or Rheumy and see what they suggest .
I hope this helps.

Just wanted to reiterate that no one should up their dose of any medication without speaking to a healthcare professional such as your GP / rheumatologist.
