Elavil (amitriptyline) for Migraine Prevention: No more migraines since I've been taking Elavil. I use only 12.5 mg per day, taken at night. Have tried millions of other medicines. This is the best. First few weeks you will be very tired, it goes away then all will finally be normal with no more head throbbing. Coctail with 10 mg Lexapro. 1 and 1/2 years of no migraines.

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Pain: Have been using it to treat Trigeminal Neuralgia, 10 mg at night, and it works great for keeping the pain away at night and to get a good nights sleep.

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Migraine Prevention: I have been taking Elavil for several weeks now and the only side effect I have had is the dry mouth. I would rather deal with that than the migraines which I must say have been dormant for weeks now and I am so happy.

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Depression: I was on Elavil for many years to help ward off migraines and it did great. Then my neurosurgeon prescribed ultram and I had a tachycardia incident. I am very sad that I can not be on Elavil. I used to take 10mg at bedtime and it was helpful.

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Migraine Prevention: During the first two weeks the fatigue was pretty bad (even though I only took it at night). The dry-mouth condition seems to be ongoing, but the migraines are completely gone! Three weeks migraine free so far!!

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Insomnia: I was prescribed Elavil to help me sleep. I use to toss and turn and think about the day, the next day, and the day after. I take this medication and I am asleep within 20 minutes. I sleep all night without waking up. I also take it to get a complete night sleep to refresh my body to fight the next day with fibromyalgia.

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Pain: I started on 75mg at night for fibromyalgia about 3 weeks ago. I've gone from constant, excruciating pain, to almost none. So far so good though & no weird food cravings at all.

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Pain: I have cronic pain due to neck and head pain. I have been taking elavil for 5 years 75mg a night. It doesn't help with the pain but I am able to sleep past the pain. If you have issues sleeping for what ever reason give it a try. I can sleep most of the night and I do not have a hang over the next morning.

Elavil (amitriptyline) for Pain: This stuff works soooo good. I have IBS and I take 10 mg a night and it works wonders. I don't have pain in my stomach all day long anymore and I have harder bowel movements compared to before I started taking the amitriptyline. I also have bipolar disorder and it helps with my stress levels and keeps me calm. I love this medicine without it I would be lost!
