A member asked:

I'm on endep10 for bladder weakness/frequency and pain. it makes me groggy and sleep all day (take it 3hrs before bed) alternatives? feel lazy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dose dependent: Amitriptyline's sedative effect is usually dose dependent. A lower dose may be better tolerated. Gradual titration of the dose upward may allow one to adjust to the side effects. Often they will diminish after taking it for a couple weeks. There are other meds for bladder dysfunction that cause less sedation.
