"It’s rather disturbing to see your house taken over by evil and your boss eaten by Cthulhu."
Found that quote on a thread regarding the side effects from amitriptyline; it would be funny if it was not so accurate. The doctor put me on these to help me sleep the whole night through with the pain I have. I noticed when I first started taking them that I would have dreams that were quite vivid, and they do make one stay asleep. Had no problem with that initially because in the past I hardly ever remember my dreams. Great, that was like walking around in a fantasy and being able to some extent to control/direct the fantasy. The past three nights/early mornings the dreams have been quite disturbing, vivid, and two were very violent. In one, somehow I knew it was a dream; however there was no way to force myself to wake up. When I finally did wake up, I was so shaken I had to sneak outside and try to walk it off. The bonus is that the feeling induced by the dreams does not leave until much later in the day. It’s almost six p.m. and I am finally getting rid of the depressed feelings this morning’s dreams left me with. Jeez, at least when I was aromatizing it helped with the pain and getting to sleep -without the feeling of being trapped in my own dream/dark fantasy.
Just wondering if anyone else has had to take this medicine, and maybe had the same crazy side effects. I’m not taking them tonight; going with two diphenhydramine (Benadryl) before bed. Not like I have to go anywhere but the pain management clinic in the morning anyway.

holy fuck. I took that for depression 20 years ago and ended up in the hospital for a week. Apparently all I did was stare at my face in the mirror all day until it was metabolized out of my system. it took me months to feel normal again. Imipramine is bad stuff too (imo)
It feels good to be running from the devil
Another breath and I'm up another level
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
I was on it for anxiety. Gave me heartburn so bad I threw up…

I’m glad I was only on a low dose of them, 10 mg a night; but I have been taking them almost two months. First time I got them refilled my doctor’s handwriting was so sloppy the pharmacist read it as 100 mg. Thank goodness I noticed how much larger the pills were from the bottle I had just finished. Hoping with the low dose it won’t take long to flush out of my system.Thanks for the input; I read the info sheet when getting the first bottle and must have missed nightmares being a side effect.

Yeah i was on 100 mg. It worked for my anxiety, but that heartburn was horrible. Felt lije i swallowed hot lava and muratic acid combined. I didn’t have the weird dreams that i can recall tho…

holy fuck.
Holy Fuck was exactly my thoughts as well.
I, too, ended up in the hospital because of this.
Was in HS. Buddy said take two or three of these things, can’t remember exactly (little ass red bastards).
Had no idea what it was, except for knowing it would give me a good buzz (so he said).
Few hours later, I was barely making it from class to class.
Stuck around in one class, and told the teacher I was in the right classroom (I was not).
Preceeded to remain in my seat, thinking I was still in the right class.
It was during the yearly testing shit, so schedules were all fucked up to begin with, not helping matters.
Anyways, to make a long story short, I was handcuffed, and taken directly to the ER, after extensive "who, what, when, where, rah, rah rah rah, wah wah wah wah."
I wasn’t coming off with anything. Just straight fucked up and denying.. It was too obvious though ::)
Stomach pumped? Bahh!! I was a champ. I chose charcoal. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Day later I was released. The 3 others (there was 4 of us, all found in different spots of school, and no1 knew we were all on the same thing BTW) were still being held due to not handling it well (beast I know ;D )
My mom asked if the whole hospital treatment was punishment enough.
Yup. Damn skippy. Never again.
I swear I could have handled my shit, but they wanted to see me suffer.
Punks. :nannah:
HS’r in the waiting room the whole time with handuffs behind the back. Bet [they] felt tough…..
