I love my sleeping pill but hate that it has started to cause strange dreams. Not scary but strange. I really don't want to tell my doc that I need a new one but my sleep is not the best anymore and that makes me mad as hell. I'm only on 10mg at night. Blah........ I hate this for sure.

Hmmm...

I am sorry, this is an issue, because I know that when I dream, I feel like I have not had a full or deep night's sleep.:(

Here is a link where you may find some helpful info on the Rx that you are taking 'off label' for sleep.http://www.drugs.com/comments/amitriptyline/for-insomnia.html

Perhaps just a regular sleeping pill would be a better choice to discuss with your doctor? I don't know of course...but it might be something to talk about.

Best wishes!

Thanks S.C I will see what he thinks will do. I have tried a few sleeping pills before but had to stop 2 do to the that I would cook while asleep or drive even. Then one cause nasty heart palps so had to be changed. I hope that this stops soon. I need better sleep at night.
