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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | Transformed Migraine | Drowsiness that continues into the next day and this is with only taking half a tablet (12.5mg) which my GP said to start with but even with this dosage the drowsy/groggy feeling is unpleasant. | I have been on this for 5 days with no improvements so far for my condition of chronic daily headache (transformed migraine) and unrefreshing sleep/apathy (mild depression). Will persist for a bit longer and hopethe side effecst subsides and there will be improvement | M | 52 | 5 days 12.5 1X day | 12/12/2012 | 3 | Pain and depression | Still depressed | F | 54 | 5 months | 2/22/2013 | 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 | insomnia and anxiety | Makes me sleep very well each night, but it's not until the afternoon when the fog clears due to the medication from the night before. Anxiety has kept well under control, appetite is good and NO NAUSEA. Plan to wean myself off slowly. | Certainly works for me. | M | 55 | 3 months 20mg 1X day | 3/22/2013 | 1 | insomnia and depression | Dry mouth, waking during night, excess body heat, drowsy next day, no motivation, weight gain, bad reflux and heart burn, -going off it asap | F | 49 | 2 weeks 75mg | 5/21/2013 | 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 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | Diarhea, severe lower back pain, dry mouth and thirst, | I am getting longer sleep, | F | 54 | 20mg 1X day | 10/4/2014 | 1 | leg pain | severe dizzyness, dry mouth, diaahrrea | M | 79 | 2 days 50 1X day | 11/14/2014 | 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 | 3 | Recurring headaches | Very drowsy about 30 minutes after taking 2 x 10mg tablets. Sleep well. Feel lightheaded during the day but headaches started to improve (still there, but less severe) from day 5. | M | 30 | 6 days 10mg x 2 1X day | 1/28/2015 | 1 | Can't sleep up from 1am now3.30 urinay retention weakness arms legs hands dry mth trembling hands unsteady on feet feel fluid in legs also have health problems fmd so not sure about this so called happy pill felt my brain closed off ? Not for me | Did calm down my mind first few hrs but wide awake 1.am now1/4 to 4am felt sick legs wobbly bladderdecrease in frequency out put I don't like it | F | 64 | 1 days 1/2 10mg | 3/2/2015 | 1 | Depression, anxiety, insomnia | Fatigue Inability to wake up Foggy head Feel like shit all around | Do not take this drug. It will mess with your head in a major way. I am quitting it after only two days because it is AWFUL. | F | 28 | 2 days 25mg | 7/29/2015 | 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 | 4 | anxiety | With dosage up at 150mg fairly zonked.I initially felt horrible,dry mouth, urinary issues and weight gain.It took a few months to really make a difference but once it did quality of life improved. Back to 100mg and dry mouth the only remaining symptom. | Takes a while to work but has brought my anxiety under control. The side affects did eventually subside but the first few months are tough. | M | 37 | 1 years 100-150mg | 12/29/2015 | 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 |
