HI

I take amitriptyline. I have been on it for 10 yrs now. I take 100mg at night. I have no ill side effects from it. I also can NOT take any of the ssri's. I have been on so many I don't even want to name them. They send me off the walls doing things i normally wouldn't do and I get aggresive and destructive. Anyway the only med. for depression other than the amitriptyline I can take is lithium. Keeps me level and less depressed although right now i am having a rough patch. The amitriptyline really does work, for me anyway. I do remember in the beginning that it made me VERY tired but I got use to it.
