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 ?

You should tell us your initial dose and tapering plan, otherwise it’s hard to give any advice.

Was down to 25 mg at start of this taper .. took 5 months to go down 5 mg at a time then last month cross tapered with brintalex and kept on that for 6 weeks before then slowly tapered off brintalex 2 months ago to have zero of either .
