 3  Migraine Headaches @ 25 MG daily, very sleepy, zoned out. Just wanted to sit and stare off into space. Be VERY careful when you first start taking the drug. Makes you very proned to falling asleep. Gradually diminished as my body got used to the drug. M 38 1 months

 3  anxiety/depression/insomnia Mostly constipation and mouth dryness with bad taste. A few occasions of dizziness when standing up. At 50 mg was improving my mood a bit, but didn't like side effects, and got no sedation whatsoever to help with sleep. Apparently these tricyclic type antidepressants help sleep for many people. Not me. Am getting off it. M 49 1 months
