4 | migraines | weight gain, if i take it at bed time it keeps me awake for several hours then it drains my body for the next day, so i take it mid afternoon, take 20 mg daily, headaches have decreased from everyday to 1 slight headache about every 5-6 weeks. very satisfied with decrease in headaches not happy with weight gain | F | 46 | 4 months | 1/30/2005 | 2 | Insomnia, pain, some anxiety | Dry mouth, some constipation | Supposed to be quite sedating. Did nothing for insomnia or pain. I think it helped mood a little bit (since it is a tricyclic antidepressant), but had side effects. Gave up on it. | M | 49 | 6 weeks | 1/17/2005 | 3 | migraines | constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, fainting, feel tired all the time | hasn't worked yet I've been on it for a year and take 75mg a night | F | 21 | 1 years | 11/29/2004 | 3 | depression/anxiety | dry mouth | F | 21 | 1 years | 11/24/2004 | 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 | 11/1/2004 | 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 | 10/13/2004 | 3 | headaches | stomach ache, constipation, insomnia | decreased from daily headaches to about 2 per week (25mg) and decreasing with higher dosage (35mg) - However, stomach aches are becoming painful after meals with higher dosage. | F | 32 | 4 months | 8/6/2004 | 3 | Chronic pain, insomnia | Daytime sleepiness, sweet tooth, craving carbohydrates | At 50mg I was sleeping great, but also tired all day and needed a 3 hour nap every afternoon. Now on 20mg and it only helps a little with nightime sleep, but not as drowsy during the day. | F | 44 | 6 months | 7/23/2004 | 2 | Sleep aid | none | nothing except maybe even kept me awake at 10mg dosage. Sposed to help me sleep. Am supposed to up dosage to 20mg at night after three days at 10mg. Kinda afraid to though because it seems to wire me out like coffee. | M | 36 | 2 days | 4/7/2004 | 5 | Migranes | Weight gain, increased appitite, need to sleep, dry-mouth | It helped a lot as the dose increased, but the side-effects are getting troublesome: mainly weight gain and increased appitite. | F | 16 | 9 months | 3/20/2004 | 5 | For TMJ Syndrome | F | 50 | 1 years | 4/20/2003 |
