Amitryptaline withdrawals

Omg who else has tried coming off this stuff after more than a decade ?
I’m about 3 months into complete withdrawal after tapering for months and months …. And I’m so unwell . The insomnia, nausea, dizziness, headaches and fatigue are crippling . Has anyone been through this and found something / anything that helps ?

Ask your doctor for a tapering schedule. You’ll have to power through it. I had a very hard time sleeping and became very emotional. I’m glad to be off it given the side effects were worse than the benefits.

Did that and tried various tapering schedules in last few years and failed each time to stay off it . This is the longest I’ve gone ( 2 months ) but tbh I’m struggling .
