Hi all,
I've been on HRT for 6 months now having been diagnosed as menopausal at the age of 49. It's helping with all of my symptoms except the insomnia. I rarely sleep for more than a couple of hours at a time, walking frequently in the night and often at 5am and then unable to get back to sleep.
When I went back to the doctor's yesterday she has prescribed amitriptyline to use occasionally if I feel like I need a good night's sleep. The trouble is I'd really like a good night's sleep every night and I don't want to become dependent on them.
Has anyone else used them for this purpose?
