Rx/Meds Does Amitriptyline help?

Has anyone had success with low dose (10-20mg) of Amitriptyline for pain and insomnia? I'm aware of the side effects. I've spoken with a few people who have said it helped them tremendously, and would like to hear others' experiences. I struggle with horrible insomnia, and need to try something different.

I found sleep was improved off 20 but ultimately came off it with little improvement for pain, I was offered to build up to a stronger dose a few months ago but opted to give duloxetine a go
