Re: Elavil Question??? - Marie

[Guest guest]

Just my experience with it; Yes this is the same problem I had with it. It made my body feel like it was in a coma, yet it made my mind race... My eyes would fly open about every hour... So - that one went bye-bye... I definitely don't need a mind-racer drug for sleep. Kind of defeats the purpose. ;-) But that is only how it reacts with *me*.

Marie,

My husband is on Elavil, it didn't work all that great

for him, but you may want to talk to you doctor about

adding something else. I don't know what you have

tried, but some of the Meds my hubby has been on are

(forgive the spelling) amitryptaline and remeron.

Luna: Thanks for the info. I will check out the remeron. and see what side effect's it may have..amitryptaline is the generic name for elavil.. I have an apointment to see my doctor on the 15th. I have the choice of changing doctor's I am thinking about doing that..the one I have is being a real jerk.. Gentle Caring Hug's Marie Marie A. Roomsburg pretty_n_cute2002@... marieava@...
