I'm not jumping at your throat. You are allowed to have your opinion. It's just that amitriptyline has a track record of being an effective antidepressant. It's also a very effective drug for many types of pain. And it can help a great deal with sleep. That it may not have been effective for you and/or for some people you encountered on the internet, doesn't change its general effectiveness.
Amitriptyline gets good ratings on Ask A Patient: http://www.askapatient.com/searchresults2.asp
Reviews on Revoltion Health are also generally positive: http://www.revolutionhealth.com/drugs-treatments/rating/amitriptyline?ipc=B00232
I don't mind that you think amitriptyline stinks, not at all, I just like to mention that you can't generalize your opinion as something that counts for everyone.
Feel free to have your opinion, and please allow me to have mine. It would get rather boring if everyone had the same opinion around here.
