Anyone else having good results with this med?

Morning Cliffman,
Amitriptyline has been very helpful for me for finally being able to get some rest. I take 20 mg before bed. It makes me groggy so that I'm not waking up from pain as often. I also apply the Morton's empsom salt lotion to the tops of my feet, inner ankles and inner wrists before bed. During the day I take 1-2 hydrocodone as needed for pain. Have tried gabapentin and topamax but couldn't tolerate the side effects. Hang in there!
