Amitriptyline: Amitriptyline is a useful drug but very common to get side-effects. The side-effects can improve after a few days for some people but not for everyone. If this is a new medication, ask your doctor if ok to start on 1/2 tab (5mg) instead of 10mg. Alternatively, nortriptyline is often better tolerated by people with persistent side-effects on amitriptyline.

Endep: or AMITRIPTYLINE IS A "tricyclic ANTIDEPRESSANT which is actually used for INSOMNIA ("Off Label") because of its SIDE effect ...sleepiness (and dry mouth) THESE SIDE EFFECTS WILL DIMINISH AND GO AWAY COMPLETELY in 2-3 weeks...TRY to stay on the medicine since when it works it is an excellent medication for depression....after a few weeks it doesn't have the sleepiness as a major side effect Dr Z
