How does one find a doctor that will listen?: Barb, The side effect that caused me to stop taking the amatr

» AmberW_2 - Barb, The side effect that caused me to stop taking the amatr

The side effect that caused me to stop taking the amatriptyline relates to part of the word, "trip." After taking the amatriptyline for about three days, I woke up 5 minutes after my alarm went off. Because I woke up late, there was no point in getting out of bed, the world was going to end. Fortunately, I was able to finally get myself out of bed (I think my kids helped). I flushed the amatriptyline.

Although the Pamelor helped greatly at first, it no longer makes me tired. I think it is still helping me fall asleep most nights. I wrote down Cynthia's suggestion (tanks) and will present it to my MD when I next see him.
