Iv'e only been taking amitriptyline for a week now, however it's making me very tired, groggy, moody, dizzy etc.
Im 15 and an insomniac with manic depression (bipolar), and my doc tld me to take 25mg a nite to help me sleep etc.
However, iv'e noticed quite a few changes in myself;
- im tired constantly, and i fall asleep in class.
- During class, if there is noise it makes me 'trip out' and also 'phase out'
- i'm finding consentrating much harder than ever before
-i keep forgetting things
- when i stand up i have to sit back down because i feel dizzy
- my appetite has largely increased.
plus many other things...
Just wondering if anyone knew if these are normal side effects, or if there is something else that may be triggering the symptoms. Also how much is safe to take?...if someone accidently takes more than they are supposed to, how much of amitriptyline would be fatal to a human??
cheers
