Elavil (amitriptyline): I've been on Elavil for three years and it has been a God-send: Ironically, I was seeing a Gastrointestinal doctor until she recommended that I "stop and smell the roses more." Combined with therapy sessions for about a year, I worry less as I see more of what really is worth getting worked up over -- not a whole lot. One can be passionate about certain things such as family and country and life, but other things are less, way-less significant. Elavil has taught me how to best sort out what some things are worth worrying over and not. I take 100mg/day at 8pm normally and I sleep well at night, and feel good generally about how things will be throughout the next day. I love the smell of roses.

amitriptyline: Have previously been on this medication 6 years ago. In between have been on SSRI's and venlafaxine (the latter being a nightmare to withdraw from). Now after a year of medication free I'm back on amitriptyline at my request due to mega anxiety and stress issues (not my doctor's first choice), also currently taking Ramipril and diltiazem for high blood pressure - so far early days and am suffering the main side effect of tiredness but managed a 2.5 mile jog last night. It's early days and I am hoping this will work as well as it did in the past.

amitriptyline: I have been taking this drug for about 3 months now. At first the drug seemed to work - I could sleep! Then like everything else once my body got used to it, it stopped working. Now I'm up till 3am in the morning and having to get up at six for work sometimes. So I have tried to be strong and make myself work extra hard during the day to sleep better at night. Has it worked? NO but I am still pushing on.

amitriptyline: I have found this medication very good for my stress levels and makes me very relaxed. I do seem to sweat alot and my mouth becomes dry and sometimes I have vivid dreams. I take 40mg a night.
