It's now January 2025, and I wanted to update on my progress.....I had said I was taking Lorazepam every nite and wanted to try Mirtazapine because the Lorazepam wasn't working good enough for my sleep issues. Well I tried Mirtazapine and Hated it! Made me dizzy when I got up in the middle of night to use the bathroom and it gave me muscle aches. I then was on the hunt for something to take along with Lorazepam. I still take Lorazepam every night because it helps my quality of life! Getting proper sleep and keeping anxiety in check is very important to me. So I know longer want to stop taking it everyday. I started taking Amitriptyline in June 2024 and WOW!! I can't express how thankful I found out about this medication. I did my own research on Drugs.com and read alot about lots of different meds for sleep/anxiety/mild depression.... and reading people's reviews. I had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of my left hip and was in pain for many months. Had steroid shots which didn't help and finally had an MRI and then doctor decided I needed to see a surgeon. So I was very depressed because I couldn't walk without pain and I'm a person who was walking miles everyday before this.... I asked my new doctor to prescribe me Amitriptyline.....after crying at 3 separate appointments and then I had a panic attack at the appointment when we were discussing all this. Well, thank God I found this med.... Amitriptyline. It worked for me right away and helped all my issues. I am 3 months past my hip replacement surgery and couldn't be happier!
