5 | 1 days | 4/11/2017 | 5 | Pain and Sleep | None | No | 69 | 1 days 25 | 9/8/2016 | 5 | CRPS, Insomnia and mild anxiety | Possible weight gain, unsure because I haven't been able to exercise properly with nerve pain. | I was taking 10mg at night but it zonked me out too much the next day so I only take half now. I sleep through the whole night and I don't have any nightmares where as I was most nights before that. So if anything I would recommend it for a better sleep and no nightmares. | F | 38 | 6 months 5mg | 2/22/2017 | 5 | Migraines and neck and back pain | Dry mouth | I have found endep 10mg a life saver. No more migraines and neck pain. Back pain reduced. | F | 69 | 2 months 10mg 1X day | 11/8/2020 | 5 | PTSD. insomnia. MDD. anxiety | weight gain. urinary retention. | apart from the side effects this medication generally helped me with all conditions fairly well. | F | 38 | 4 years 100mg | 6/9/2020 | 5 | for prereferral neuropathy | Dry mouth, drowsiness, sexual disfunction, weird dreams. | All I can say is the relief for the pain and numbness down my leg certainly outstripped the side effects of this drug. It helped me have better quality of life and when you are in as much pain as I was, it was very welcome! | F | 57 | 2 years 20 1X day | 12/13/2011 | 5 | I'm prescribed to endep for sleep | Dry mouth during the night and the next morning. I became extra tired during the day and found my self on and off napping which I don't normally do every day if I get a chance. I used to take seroquel do getting used to this is a lot easier so far. I also have a massive apetite after taking these approx 3 hrs before bed (if I hadn't accidentally fallen asleep in the mean time) I don't usually eat a lot because I suffer with heartburn so bad I rarely eat so I'm eating like I did on seroquel so I'm imagining I may gain weight. Overall I've got to remember my bodies still adjusting..I suffer from I.B.S and have noticed change in the pain I usually endure all morning everyday before being prescribed to endep. I'm finally getting a full nights sleep without waking up 2-3 with severe anxiety so endep with my Valium (25mg a day) has had a significant effect. | F | 26 | 10 days 20mg | 11/25/2014 | 4 | Fibromyalgia | Dry mouth. Endep makes the pain associated with fibromyalgia tolerable! Fatigue was my biggest problem. Have been on 10mg was working fantastic until recently. Now I'm on 2 x. 10mg a night using up my old tablets than start on 25mg. Has made a huge difference! Can get to sleep, stay asleep & wake up feeling like I have slept! There is no drowsiness the next day! | F | 25 | 2 days 20mg | 2/11/2014 | 4 | nerve pain due to adenomyosis | dry mouth, sleep about 2 hours after dose | it helped turn my agony to soreness. It hasn't cured my condition but it sure makes the pain more bearable. | F | 38 | 1 months 10mg 1X day | 9/24/2011 | 4 | Nerve pain (Mild CRPS) | Drowsy, dry mouth, vivid dreams (the day time drowsiness and dry mouth stopped after the first 5 days). Also makes you sleep very easily at night. | F | 33 | 3 weeks 25mg | 3/17/2013 | 4 | Depression | Dry mouth | The best anti depressant I’ve ever taken and I have been on anti depressants since I was 27. SSRI’s only caused insomnia and loss of libido. I would never touch SSRI’s. Horrible. I gave Endep a score of 4 because the only side effect was an extremely dry mouth. It also made me sleep as soon as hit the pillow. No problems with sex drive or orgasms. | F | 61 | 2 days 150 1X day | 9/6/2020 | 4 | Migraines think GP guessed depress | Not sure if related at all experiencing frequent severe reflux/heartburn ?when sleeping. | Finally can go to sleep at night which was an issue. struggle to push myself during the day to get things accomplished. was prescribed 50mg a day but thought that would make me twice as drowsy during the night. (need to stay alert for special children) struggling with chores but at least going to sleep within 3hrs | F | 50 | 8 months 25mg 1X day | 1/12/2016 | 4 | Fibromyalgia | mind fog in morning, had to increase dose as my body got used to it. Did have some dry mouth and diarhea too. | Asleep usually within an hour of taking it. And I usually stay asleep now all through the night. Wake up without drowsiness but in a bit of a mind fog and babbling words. It has helped with the pain but had to increase from 10/20mg. | F | 37 | 2 months 30 | 6/19/2016 | 4 | Back pain; anxiety | Dry mouth; no libido; low mood; dizziness; trembling hands at times, brain fog; memory issues; tiredness next day; | My Doctor said it was a wonder pill, and everyone should be on a small dose a little blue pill as she called it. Well after 2 years I am sick of the brain fog and memory issues. I went back to study and it really affected me. I am off it now for last 4 days. Pain came back so bad by Day 2 I was going to go back on, However, am back on pain meds anti inflammatory Eg disprin occasionally, helps relax muscles, Panadol, voltaren gel, See how I go, Read someone's post they only take it 3 or 4 times a week, so might try that | F | 62 | 2 years 10 1X day | 11/1/2022 | 4 | Migraines | Breast tenderness (all the time) and big drop in sex drive | This very much reduced the frequency and pain from the migraines, I now have a better wellbeing and (pain half as bad) | F | 25 | 6 months 10mg | 10/9/2016 | 3 | Chronic back pain | Difficulty waking up in the morning, but it improved within 2 weeks. It's still hard to wake up and be coherent but I can get up mostly when I need to. Dry mouth, improved with time. Weight gain, becoming a problem. | I can function because of this drug. Previously I would need codeine just to get through a shift at work, and sometimes had days off because it was so bad. I'm not pain free but I can manage each day a lot better now. | F | 30 | 1 years 10mg 1X day | 11/4/2015 | 3 | Sleep and depression | I take 150 mg Seroquel, 10 mg Endep, 75mg Lyrica. They have worked for the last 3 months but now its been 2 days and nights of no sleep at all. My legs feel like they are going to give out and they are sore. Also feeling very sick on the stomach. I also have a Duralgesic 25mg patch and Effexor 150 mg. | Has worked for at least 3 months with great results ( sleeping all night and depression not as bad. | F | 45 | 3 months 10mg | 12/8/2017 | 3 | Pain and depression | Still depressed | F | 54 | 5 months | 2/22/2013 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | Diarhea, severe lower back pain, dry mouth and thirst, | I am getting longer sleep, | F | 54 | 20mg 1X day | 10/4/2014 | 3 | lupus pain and lack of sleep | Endep did help with my muslce and joint pain and it was really good as a sleeping aid ( able to come of sleeping tabs 'stilnox' after 2 yrs of use), but I did have slight weight gain and I needed something stronger as an antidepressant as I was only on 25mg. | F | 32 | 5 months | 8/7/2005 |
