I'm happy you're feeling better. I knew someone said they were put on amitriptyline, but I couldn't remember who. Know I know. lol I have taken elavil for 20 years for depression. It's a very old one, but a good one for people who can't take the newer SSNRI's (think I have those letters correct) It had to be raised over the years to keep it at a theraputic level. I was taking 200mg at bed time for 12 years and it was just upped to 300 recently. The reason it makes you sleep is the sedative in it. I got used to the 200mg and could stay up after I took it. Now when I take the 300mg I better be in bed when they hit or I will fall asleep no matter where I'm at.
Please rest and good luck. The Dr's report was an A+. Well, maybe not quite, but maybe in the future.
Hugs....Connie
