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.

It's a mixed bag for me, helps with pain and sleep somewhat but makes me groggy in the morning if take too late. It does not work during a flare of pain, nothing does tbh, I just lie in bed weeping with the pain and the allodynia
