| 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 | 1 days | 4/11/2017 | 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 | Pain and Sleep | None | No | 69 | 1 days 25 | 9/8/2016 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
