Amitriptyline Nightmares

 No Sleep

Last week, while cleaning my room, I came across some  Amitriptyline - sleeping - tablets; I've been prescribed them for years because of a mix of depression, and insomnia. I don't make a habit of using them for several reasons, the main one being I don't wish to become an addict, though my sleep pattern is low, I prefer to have a hot milk to ease me into sleep.

However, a few nights ago, I was in the middle of a long stretch of sleepless nights, and long days when I found the tablets. That night, I took two tablets - my recommended dose - I did get to sleep, but the dreams I had were the worst I'd had for decades.
