I was just given amitriptyline a couple days ago, i took the 10mg dose and slept for 12 hours (twice as long as i usually sleep) and then felt horrible for the rest of the day, i just didn't want to get out of bed.
I've gone back to clomipramine now, it's meant to be a lot less sedating acording to the chart my pdoc has but for some reason it actually knowcks me out to sleep faster than the amitriptyline and i only sleep about 8 hours with no hangover effects (i just about bounce out of bed when it's time to wake up)
