[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 285205, member: 2423"] I took 10 mg Amitriptyline for a couple of years for migraines, IBS, stress and insomnia. That low dose targeted all four symptoms very, very well. The sedation was bad at the beginning, but it wore off after a week or two, although I slept very well every night I took Amitriptyline and woke up feeling rested. I stopped taking Amitriptyline because I gained 10 pounds on it. That was a lot for my little 5-foot frame. I switched to Nortriptyline, and the weight gain was the same. I'm now trying Cymbalta, but it's only been 8 days so I can't tell yet how it's going to be. But I'm hopeful. In your shoes, I'd give the 10 mg dose a couple of weeks to see how you adjust. And I'd recommend starting your difficult child on 10 mg as well. You can always go up if it doesn't do the trick, but she may be spooked if you start the dose out too high. [/QUOTE]
