If you are intolerant to amitryptaline then you might want to try nortryptaline which is said to have less side effects.

So far the drug has helped with a few symptoms but I spent yesterday feeling very dark and crying a lot which is not natural for me. I didn't take any last night and feel like myself today but didn't sleep well and physically don't feel as good as when on the drug. I'm going to try 5mg tonight and see how it goes. I'm always so sensitive to medication. I really hope this doesn't make me feel sad again.

AD's can make you feel depressed at first, after 2 to 3 weeks it passes from what I've heard.

Well after 3 nights on 5mg I was very anxious and hallucinating. I'm so sensitive to medications I hate it! This one worked for my physical symptoms but the side effects were too much. Back to the beginning I guess.

Maybe you can ask your doctor for a prescription for Klonopin or another anti-anxiety drug. Small dose Klonopin (.125 mgs or less, .5 is a normal dose) may be just enough to take the edge off your anxiety so you can sleep.
