Hi @Fairydell
I suffered from what were said to be "nerve pains" in my legs a few years ago. I had no problems in the day, but was in agony at night and was getting no sleep. My GP prescribed the lowest dose of amitripytiline and it did work. I was warned about feeling groggy, but I was fine. I took it for about a month or so, then forgot to take it several times and realised I no longer needed it! I also have a friend who has been taking it successfully for sleep for about 6 months with no ill effects.
I would also strongly recommend magnesium.
