Full disclosure: I did my research and decided that SSRIs absolutely were not for me.

As for the Amitriptyline, when using it as a sleep aid, people sometimes find that they have to keep increasing the dosage. I know TBI patients who claim to have had better results with a newer tetracyclic antidepressant called Remeron (Mirtazapine). Like I said, I can offer no firsthand experience.

When you sleep, do you dream? Do you wake with any sense of refreshment?
