5 | 1 days | 4/11/2017 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
