I have recently been put on amitriptyline for medical reasons and I have found my mood to be quite dramatically changing and I feel really groggy, slow and tired. I am on a low dose and haven't been on them long, I was just wondering is this normal and has anyone else had any experience with this drug? I'm a bit worried how this will further effect my uni attendance, but I don't really want to talk to my advisor. Thank you  |

Hope it wasn't too bad Faith! I have to go back next week due to blood tests anyway, so I might speak to her then. It's really weird, like I didn't really expect to feel different, I just feel so like detached and slow and tired and stuff, it's not enjoyable haha. I think I did read that it was a side effect, but yeah.
Thank you Faded, hopefully it will this time!

Just wanted to reassure you a bit, I have been on it for 3 years for depression starting at 200mg and now at 50mg- at 200mg there was a grogginess but it did get better and the lower my dose the better. But even on on the high dose I got used yo it. I would say give it chance. Hope it gets better for you  |

I was on it for 2 weeks to help me sleep but I became actively suicidal. Please be careful with it. Take care

Thank you guys I feel really tired and slow today, more so than yesterday. I'm also getting thoughts about harming which I haven't had for a while, but this might just link to the tiredness. I might just speak to my GP when I go back, it has helped with sleeping though |
