I quit taking amitryptyline two weeks ago becuase of a bad side effect. One good thing about it was that it helped with the nightmares. I still had them. But they were nothing compared to what they were before taking it.

Now im taking nortriptyline and that is also helping the nightmares. I'm able to get better rest. STill only get about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. But i dont wake up every 20 living a nightmare.

I was given Trazodone first for sleeping. That was horrible for me. That made my nightmares worse.

I hope you find a med that stops those mares. I feel for ya. Good luck with it.
