Re: Elavil and Amitriptyline

There seems to be alot of talk about these meds....I was surprised that most are on 25mgs and find it hard to wake up the next morning and to be able to function .....

Why are most of you taking this....

Ty has taken it for yrs now...prescribed by his neuologist for his migraines...to help prevent them....to be taken at bedtime...which he always does...he has probably been on them at least 7 yrs now....

He was started out at 25mgs...but is now at 75mgs because the migraines became more frequent....

I don't ever remember him complaining about it makin it hard to function the next day...infact for going thru his teen yrs he was the only one I never had to wake up and called over and over again to get ready for school...he still is like that...

and for a time when his liver counts were not so good he did have trouble sleeping.....he loves it when it rains so I went out and bought one of those fountain things...he uses it at night when needed....

Like I said I was just surprised that so many have problems with it....

I wonder if he has built and immunity to it...although even in the beginning he never seemed to have that problem...

Oh well

take care and talk soon
