Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I just went to drugs.com and found out that Elavil is an anti-depressant, not a sleep aid. It has listed the same common side effects as Paxil, and many side effects look like Ambien's roster. So, is it being used by doc off label? Just curious. Glad it works for you though, at any rate.

Mine were bad dreams due to the medications now I don't dream and do just fine. My partner Mike is also on the same medication. Its trade name is Elavil. I would not get sleep if I did not use it for sleeping at night. I have no side effects from it. I function fine during the day and take it 2 hours before I need to go to sleep.
