i took 10mg to sleep as a teen and it was almost too much. my doc said the ideal dose is that which presents *no* hangover effect. he said you can even go as low as 5mg. maybe i'm just sensitive?

anyway, since i'm having problems with getting deep sleep (not necessarily falling asleep) i'm curious about whether amitriptyline can assist that, or if it's just a sedative ..
> P.S. I'm on amitriptyline and buspirone.
