I'm currently off any meds to sleep, the amitryptaline was making me groggy too far into the next day and was starting to not work that well anymore either. I don't take anything but a small dose of cold medicine to sleep now...starting taking it during a cold a couple of weeks ago. The neurologist wanted me to get a sleep study because I mentioned that I tried increasing my ami from 10mg to 20mg (am allowed to go up to 30mg) and was it repressed my respiratory system so much that I gasped for breath once in the night. I knew it was too much for me an hour after taking it. That has never happened to me before or since, so I know it's not sleep apnea...didn't happen during my last sleep study 2 yrs ago either. She wanted to make sure, thus the test. I had only complained to her so far that I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep...which showed up clearly in the test this week. Now I am so off this week from that experience and am getting another cold!
