Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Tom, Oh ouch, and so sorry about the kidney stones. I had no idea Diamox could cause them. I have been taking Elavil (amitriptyline) for tremors for about 15 years with good results. It really takes a full 3 months or so for the dose of Elavil to kick in, but oh boy did I notice a remarkable difference in 4 days. I slept better too. I also swear it helps me in other ways too. There is another medication, a cousin of Elavil, called Pamelor (nortriptyline) that I understand helps with tremors. Then there are Primadone and Mysoline. I tried Inderal for 2 days and thought my heart was going to jump out of my skin...no, it is the Elavil for me! Hope this helps. I know what those tremors can be like. Hope you can find a replacement medication soon. ~ Gretchen PS. Elavil sometimes makes my mouth dry - I do drink a couple of litres of water each day, and get hydrated at the same time. When I'm on a deadline or heavily into a creative project, I chew sugarless gum like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
