My Doctor has recently put me on Amitriptyline 50 mg for sleep, I also take .5 mg of valium 3 times a day. Other medications are 20 mg of crestor and 50 mgs of Atenolol once a day. 1 week approx. after starting the Amitriptyline I woke up one morning, yesterday, as I was walking towards the bathroom I started getting dizzy to the point I couldnt keep walking and had to sit. During the day I had about 5 more episodes. Today it happened again while I was driving and almost got into an accident. The only other thing is I have horrible eating habits where I go sometimes 3-4 days without eating as I am on a fixed income. During the night my sleep is not disturbed.
