2019-12-19 at 1:09 AM UTCTook 20mg that knocked me out. I woke up feeling a little spasticated and very irritable. If anything, this only accentuated my anger and left me feeling more pissed off than before I went to sleep.
Anyone else had similar experiences with this? Not touching again, reading about the side effects is enough.
There was an increase in energy in the morning like when I've taken Tramadol though.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-12-19 at 1:12 AM UTCWhat are you taking it for? I used to be on 200 mg a night for depression (that's a very high dose though).

I can never sleep in the winter and find myself staying awake right till 9am. I was pissed off after falling out with a mate and popped x2 10mg. I thought it would help with my anxious thoughts and calm me down. -
2019-12-19 at 1:23 AM UTCIt always made me sleepy too.
Also made soda taste flat
Really hated it -

It'll help you sleep a bit because it does have sedating side effects but it's primarily used for depression. It's a tricyclic, an old medicine that they've been using since like the 1950s. One of the original antidepressants. It is prescribed off label for sleep but most people need like 50 mg and the side effects arent really worth it.
Isn't diazepam easy to get over there? -
2019-12-19 at 1:29 AM UTCI was on it for years and became a med in my regimen my doctor wouldn't prescribed me anything else unless I agreed to take it like a kid (how can you have any pudding if you don't finish your bug juice)
You develop a tolerance so quickly then it basically does nothing. The highest I was at was 150mg but usually 75. They taste so shitty. I was on elavil and trazadone at once and they actually did help depression for a bit.
Amitryptaline (elavil) is a very old medication that's basically given for everything. Kinda made me feel ok and "normal" but it really is a dirty ol antipsychotic. Have fun trying to sleep the week after quitting it, it's best to taper down to the yellows then the blues (if you have the same meds we have). There really aren't any side effects that I've gotten although I remember a friend of mines mother was on them and noted side effects I don't remember. Pretty innocuous but a shitty drug that's probably bad for your brain long term -

It's a tricyclic not an antipsychotic, still a shitty drug though. -

And gaba
I might get to try Lyrica soon, my psych is going to bat for me without me even asking. Is more expensive copays though, but I'm worried about my kidneys with all the meds I take (and sometimes under the table meds to boot, but trying not to do that with success so far).
Anyways, I took it for like a day or two, small dose for sleep and never again because it didn't help and seemed pointless. I react badly to (prescribed) serotonergic drugs anyway.
It's really toxic. It's actually a Purple Pill book drug because of how easy and common it is to overdose on. One bottle will easily do it with more than a little old lady dose.. it ain't prozac.
It probably is more effective though because they didn't try to reverse engineer it based on theory and claim that it works beyond placebo because "we think it should".
