Anyone else having good results with this med?

I was started on amitriptyline at 50mg at hour of sleep and it knocked me out for almost 18 hours! I was put on it as an antidepressant. I titrated down to 30mg which keeps my ideation about suicide from sneaking up and no longer makes me sleepy so i guess it is useful and free of any side-effects that i know about. It took more than 2 weeks to find the best dosage.
