VerifiedHi there,
Yes amitriptyline 10 mg is low dose and should help with the sleep problem.
It is good for you as long as it does not cause any side effect.
I will suggest using this as needed masis to avoid any dependence issues with daily use.
The dependence issue is not bad ( unlike xanax).
Best wishes,
It was my pleasure to help you today.
