It makes you sleep like a log so insomnia for a few days if you stop taking it is to be expected like most sleeping pills. Can be pretty useful for some people though, I don't think it is for me.
Amitriptyline is not a sleeping pill that I'm aware of. The dosage can be adjusted so you find it useful for pain relief and yet not feel groggy the following day, you have to work with your Dr to find the correct dose for you. The initial grogginess also gets less with time. I've been taking this for 10 months and it has helped me a lot.
