Amitriptyline "Started with 25 mg in 1987, increased to 100 mg recently. Overall, not that much different than the others, gained a lot of weight as with Neurontin, but it did help sleep and mood issues."

"Didn't work for me at all. Started on 10 mg and got increased up to 50 mg over a year. No benefits, and the only side effect was a dry mouth. Didn't even get a better night's sleep!"
