I started on Amitriplyline 25 mg but didn't like the sedation effect when I woke, so I switched to Nortriptyline 10 mg and with very little sedation, much improved, been taking it for a couple years now, works great for me, calms my neuropathy, I sleep better, and have steady energy during the day vs. waking with the sedation while taking Amitriptyline 25 mg. You may want to discuss with your doctor. Good luck!
