My GP has prescribed me amitriptyline 10mg for my insomnia, it's a bit hit and miss with it, i always feel groggy the following day and when I do sleep it's very broken but better than none. Should I really be on this, what else could I try?

    I have taken 10 mg of anatriptalin for insomnia for10 days now with not much success. If any one has any tips I would be glad of anything. I think my gp has given up on me .
