Alternative to amitriptyline

Good morning everyone.
I have posted before that I take amitriptyline to help with my neck OA at night. I had been going through a good period and was able to stop it but just lately have had to start the tablets again and am experiencing some dizziness when I change positions laying down. I thought at first it was due to my stiff neck, but now I think it may be the amitriptyline.
I have spotted before that some forum members take an alternative which does the same job but with fewer side effects, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is called. I think it began with an "n" and ended with "line". Can someone kindly please tell me what I am trying to remember.
Many thanks.
Janet
