i found my restless legs got worse--so i couldn't sleep--if i went above 25mg of amatryptaline. mostly i hovered around 12mg, and now i'm down to a tiny spec, maybe 1-2mgs.

lexarpo doesn't seem to make my legs jump too much, but it's hell on the jaw.

good luck! pharmaceuticals are a blessing and a curse

Even more of a reason that I am trying to wean off all these meds and start other OTC products along with my vitamin regimen. Thanks for all this wonderful information.

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.

Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.

Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
