however I can’t say it’s improved overall symptoms during the day. Still ups and downs and still usually feel crap by evening.

Summary
A Reddit user with CFS posted in 2018 that low-dose amitriptyline helped them sleep and eased some of the myalgic pain at night. They said sleeping well mattered a great deal but the drug had not improved their daytime symptoms; they still had ups and downs and usually felt bad by the evening. The post gave no detail on how long they had been ill.
