do you mean Amaltriptaline[spell] prob.same thing honeybunch.yes.i was. feel like you took way to

much nyquil?or something. depends on how badly you need sleep. 5 days pain & no sleep you feel

pretty darn good. just to fall asleep well malitonin 4 or 5 mgs.under toung outa do it. try shaving

a 25 percenter of the pill,eat it hour before bed time thinking your gonna sleep 8 hr.s. then sumatra

coffee in mornin. try it & if tou still feel underwater shave more. it is or can be very strong.ps.

it also gets into your system & stays making it useless after a few days. beleive it or not.

I've taking nortriptyline, and I've also taken amitriptyline at different times not knowing they were similar. Most recently I took amitriptyline to help me sleep, I took it almost every night for two weeks and had to stop. It was knocking me out, I'd be asleep no matter what I was doing as soon as half an hour after taking 25mg. I would sleep all night and then wake up to go to work in the morning and I would be so drowsy, and felt like I hadn't slept at all. I felt like I wouldn't fully wake up for hours. I tried cutting the pill in half and I still would wake up drowsy. I didn't like the way it made me feel. Now I take a vicodin and a flexeril at night and I sleep better. If I don't take anything I sleep terrible. I hope it works for you, or that you find something that does soon!
