Well since you ask, I was just looking back at the agreed facts and this is stated:
'Angharad Williamson was found to have consumed a number of medications including:
In a previous document, Williamson was described as the following: “Ms Williamson is very much her own person and knows to voice her concerns as required. She remains responsible for her own health and medication.
- Gabapentin
- Lamotrigine
- Levetiracetam
- Fluoxetine
- Amitriptyline'
“She explained her medication is not a sleeping pill but a nerve stimulant to help her relax. She explains she’s been able to parent independently.”'

Thank you so much, I was just looking for this! I was sure an antipsychotic was mentioned at one point, perhaps it was just in conversation. Of all of those, I believe amitriptyline is the one she must be referring to. I haven't personally taken it in a dose high enough to "knock me out" and don't know whether it can do that or not at higher doses?
Edit to add this link: It seems amitriptyline is given in low doses for insomnia, so I have to concur with you @tedtink I don't *think* what she was taking would knock her out. But everyone is different, so perhaps it could have that affect. That said, it still doesn't explain the curtains/lights and that alone make me doubt that part of her evidence (not whether or not the drugs knocked her out).
Amitriptyline for sleep, is it a bad idea?
