| 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 | 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 | Lacking quality sleep,only 4hr/h/n | None | Take one tablet 3 or 4 nights a week, for 7 hrs+ sleep a night. Wake up feeling good for work. | M | 57 | 3 months 10mg 1X AN | 12/25/2016 | 4 | Anxiety & sleep | At first I slept all night but it started having no effect after 2 months. I was waking up feeling a bit dazed but it goes away in a few hours and I feel great after that. | All I can suggest is start on a low dose and raise it a week at a time. Side effects do go away in a month or so | M | 57 | 4 months 25 1X day | 8/30/2022 | 3 | Chronic back pain & insomnia | Brain fog, lethargy and mild anxiety | Dr recommend Endep at 10mg once daily to (1) help with managing neuropathic pain from chronic back problems and associated rehab activity, and (2) for long term insomnia from back pain. Found the medication effective in reducing severity of nerve pain and helped with getting to sleep and duration of sleep. However, the day after effects are significant. Low mood, anxiety and bouts of extreme tiredness have become daily issues. Hoping these reduce as I need to continue taking this medication while I go through intensive rehabilitation for my back. | M | 48 | 7 days 10MG 1X day | 10/25/2020 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
