Lacy, Amitriptyline gave me similar symptoms but I was unable to function. All I felt like doing was sitting and staring but thank goodness I only took it for one day! The good news is it stopped my coughing. I've thought about trying a lower dose of Amitriptyline but at that time I never wanted to take it again. I have taken a small amount of Phenergan with Codeine, which does work, but I only take it when I have to because it will cause some sleepiness but it is mild compared to Amitriptyline.
