Yes sedation is a usual sideeffect of tryptomer or amitryptiline.but your dose is very less. Other side effects are constipation , dry mouth,hypotension. But these also occur ata high dose. better option for you keeping in view of your exams in future SSRI drugs like escitalopram should be prescribed. But first we need to confirm whether you are really depressed or not.
