That sleep med your doctor gave you for benzo withdrawal? Amitriptyline might actually be making things worse. Here's the surprising reason. Your brain is trying to heal its GABA receptors, a process that can take 6 to 24 months. Amitriptyline messes with that delicate repair job.
Its anticholinergic effects can worsen the brain fog you're already fighting, and it can even lower your seizure threshold, a huge risk during withdrawal.
So what actually works? Patience, sleep hygiene, and gentle supports like low-dose melatonin.
Your brain's natural healing gives the most sustainable results.
