Hi everyone,

I was prescribed Amitryptiline by my doc after trying several other drugs that did not really work for me. I am now taking 50mg Amitryptiline since 10 days. So far Amitryptiline has helped me to sleep better and my daytime anxiety has slightly decreased. I would love to hear your (positive) experiences with Amitryptiline, in particular how long it has taken before you experienced the full benefits of the drug. How were your experiences with Amitryptiline on your road to recovery?

May we all get well!

Thanks,

Andy
