I am peri-menopausal, can t sleep do to hot and cold feeling and when I lay down my whole body feels tingling. on 1/25 Dr put me on 10 mg amatriptyline at bedtime along with the black cohosh and valerian root I was taking. It started to help, I think, but had 4 really bad nights, the 3rd night didn t get more than a few minutes sleep from 10am to 8am, I fall asleep but then wait up when I try to lay all the way down. Talked to Dr today she is prescribing Abien to take with the rest. I am worried about side effects. Also, After 4 days of crappy sleep I really feel out of sorts today, having quick hot flashes and getting the tingling feeling off and on which last for a few minutes. Thoughts?
