I take amitriptylene for sleep too, and it really helps a lot. In fact, sometimes I sleep too much. But then some nights, like tonight, it doesn't do the trick.

What dosage are you taking? I've found the 50mg before bedtime does the best for me. I can't understand how increasing your dose by just 10mg could have the opposite effect though.

You do know that this med is an anti-depressant, don't you? It also makes most people put on weight, but that hasn't been a real problem with me. I sure hope you can get your dosage right, because from what I understand it is one of the more safer meds out there, and you need your sleep!
