To cut a long story short, I have had a lot of changes occur in my life lately that has resulted in my anxiety levels soaring to the point day-to-day life is becoming very difficult for me and I have realised I need to do something about it.
Past experience of taking anti-depressants has been very bad for me and I am also very hypersensitive to medication. A visit to the GP today basically narrowed my options down to very little where the only real thing left is to try some medication to calm the anxiety. Understandably I am reluctant, but there is no plan B, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience of taking Amitriptyline - interested to hear good and bad so I can weigh up whether I should take it or not.
They put me on that for sleep 25mg. Basically amitriptyline clears your mind. And it makes your tired drowsy and not hungry it is awful. I would suggest you try mindfulness and other natural ways to help you
I use the Calm app regularly and it does help, but at the moment, things have become so bad that I need extra help with coping. My anxiety has gone beyond what is within my capabilities of managing.
