| 3 | neuropathic pain and insomnia | Dry mouth, sour taste in mouth, thirsty, drowsy, no libido and feeling low. | I recomend it's use if you suffer from pain and cannot sleep but since it's also used for depression I'm not sure if it will affect your mood if used for a long time I also take 50mg of zoloft but still feel depressed don't know if any of these drugs really work once your body gets used it. | M | 45 | 8 years | 11/27/2008 | 5 | PTSD. insomnia.

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.

I sleep through the whole night and I don't have any nightmares where as I was most nights before that.

Plan to wean myself off slowly. | Certainly works for me. | M | 55 | 3 months 20mg 1X day | 3/22/2013 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | anxiety, insomnia | From the git go, this product 'zonked' me out big time, to the point I stopped taking it after only 1 month. I had been taking Zoloft (which worked great), but was prescribed Endep instead when I developed side effects (muscle twitches) after a few months. My doctor suggested I take half a tablet of Endep every night, but then the dosage was too low and had no effect. I suppose the full 25mg dose may have worked, but I was so doped up I felt out of it anyway so I can't really say if it was effective or not. I don't recommend this product. | M | 58 | 1 months 25mg 1X day | 3/4/2011 |
