hi Helen , I would ask for amitriptyline , most of us with long term illness like RA suffer mild depression , lack of sleep dont help or having bad sleep because of pain etc. & not getting deep sleep , talk to your GP , not everyone gets on with it but they give it out to RA , CFS & conditions where sleep is affected
