You must have an 'old-school' doc mr nobody. I haven't heard of a doctor prescribing tricyclics since I was in high school because SSRIs essentially replaced them as they started dispensing them like skittles.
If drowsiness is a side-effect of the tricyclics, which are/were typically prescribed for a very wide-range of conditions/symptoms, then writing a script for that reason would be analogous to a doctor prescribing Norco for those with depression because one of the side-effects is temporary euphoria.
Not trying to bash you in any way, but I would NEVER take a tricyclic antidepressant for sleep considering they have been around long enough for docs to know all of the side-effects that can come along with it.
I've personally found halcion to be the best for sleep for me. I do believe it is the most potent benzo out on the market (not marketed in US anymore) at 0.25mg tablets will knock a full-grown man right out. HALCION FOR THE WIN!!! LOL
