Although I am sleeping a bit better now with the nortryptoline 4 - 5 hours solid sleep is still a far off dream for me. Am now on 50mg a day and seem to have hit a peak and am now going backwards with frequent sleep disruption and aches and pains creeping back. Have had a couple of really bad nights and feel so shit the next day it makes me wonder how I have kept going all this time with such poor sleep...
"After falling asleep, most people with FMS/ CFS find that they wake-up frequently during the night, especially between two and 4 AM. In addition, sleep is disrupted by pain and frequent urination. All in all, many people are only able to get four to five hours of solid sleep a night without treatment. The disrupted sleep then results in immune suppression and chronic widespread pain. "
