<< Today a doctor suggested Elavil in 10 mg. doses. >>

Hi Lona,

Just wanted to tell you that when I started Elavil in 10 mg. doses, I had bad

side effects within days. I was a zombie and I swelled all over my body. I

could not even fit in my underwear or bras. I may be an exception to this

drugs reaction on me, but it was not fun finding out after taking it that I

was allergic. Be careful and watch for any kind of side effects. You may

have luck with it, you won't know until you try.

Hi ,

I think the average dosage is about 75 mg for an average weight/height

woman. That's the report from Dr. Mom, at least. :)

-

25 mg

I take 75 mg each night for VV. I've been on this dose since 1995. It

alleviates the pain except for minor flare-ups. I don't know what the dose

for depression is though.

I mentioned a week ago that my regular Dr prescribed

Elavil. Well it works alright but I have alot of

trouble getting up in the morning & I'm exhausted all

day. I'm on the lowest dose. So when I went to see my

psychiatrist on Thursday I told him I hated the Elavil

because of the fatigue factor. My regular Dr wouldn't

prescribe Ativan or Xanax or anything so I asked my

psych Dr if I could take one of those instead. He said

sure & gave me Ativan. Wow that works much better. It

doesn't stay in my system near as long as the Elavil

did. By the morning I'm awake & refreshed! I'm much

happier. School starts the 28th for my girls & there

is no way I would've been able to wake up to take

them. I could barely get up at 10:30!!! Only to come

downstairs to find out the girls ate cookies for

breakfast! :)

I have been on Elavil for over 15 years

and would not do without it. My Dr’s tried others but I could not sleep

at all without it. I guess it just shows the differences of how the body

reacts to different meds

Ha, ha,…cookies

for breakfast! There is a Cookie Crisp breakfast cereal, but it doesn’t

appeal to me at all, but my daughter likes it.

I never could take Elavil.

It not only gave me horrific nightmares, but I was a zombie the next day. I hated

it. But……..both my hubby, daughter, and

SIL take it and have good results from it. My hubby takes it to help with his

sleep apnea. My daughter takes it for migraines, and my SIL takes it for

depression. My hubby and daughter take the lowest dosage.

I’m glad you found

something that is helping you now.
