I am on a low nighttime dose of amitripltyline -which is an anti-depressant in high doses but used in low doses for sleep disorders and prevention of bedwetting [in kids who don't sense they need to go to the loo] The mechanism is supposed to be by blocking the way cells of the nervous system transport biochemicals called “amines,” amitriptyline is able to increase the levels of circulating neurotransmitters, especially a neurotransmitter called “serotonin.” Best regards, Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com mailto:alison.ashwell@... new work uploaded http://www.artwanted.com/alisonashwell http://www.voodoochilli.net/artists/alisonashwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 By the way, isn't Melatonin goitenous? Re[2]: Sleep problems Hello Lynda, L> have you tried adding 5htp to the melatonin? I tried L> melatonin on its own and it did nothing for me either. Now I take L> melatonin plus 50mg Higher Nature Seratone 5htp and I sleep like a L> baby. I'll mention it when is see the Dr next week -thanks -- Best regards, Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com mailto:alison.ashwell@... new work uploaded http://www.artwanted.com/alisonashwell http://www.voodoochilli.net/artists/alisonashwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 I took that for chronic back pain and found that I was a bitch during the day. A midnight cortisol saliva test showed that my night time cortisol never allowed me to get into deep sleep. Phosphatidyl serine lowered to allow me to go into a deep sleep. I used to have what I thought were active dreams. I never felt rested. I do now.
