> Are you okay with trying a TCA? Amitriptyline works well. You will only need a small dose so you won't get all the side effects that come with taking a TCA.
No, I did not know it was a TCA. That probably explains why it made me tearful, as all the antidepressants usually have that effect on me. I was very dissapointed in it. I got 1 1/2 hours LESS sleep on it than taking the antihistamine Bonine that you can buy at any drug store.
Tonight I am trying a natural remedy called Irwin's Power to sleep. A lady at the Health food store says it is their best seller. I brought it to my Doctor and he looked at the ingredients and told me it was safe and okay for me to take with the benzos. Hope it works. Wish me luck!
