Yes, it's helped me considerably. The generic name is Amitriptylin (sp) and it's an old antidepressant but is also given to people with chronic pain and other things. If nothing else, it helps me sleep. That was one of my MAJOR problems- could not sleep or if I went to sleep, couldn't stay asleep. I had a hard time getting comfortable or would wake up hurting. The PM dr. prescribed it for me and we slowly increased the dosage over several weeks (I will PM you exactly what I take because alot of people aren't comfortable with exact meds and dosages being mentioned).
