Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Marge: My experience with Elavil is not one I'd would wish for anyone. I've taken it for many, many, years and stopped last month. My new doctor looked over my health history and determined two things. The approximately 100 pounds that I have put on started not long after taking the Elavil and also the rapid pulse(was 120-149 for a couple of years before being put on Atenenol, bringing it down to the 90's)were side affects of the Elavil. Also, in this support group, it was mentioned that breast enlargement was another rare side affect. I'll probably never know for sure, but after having had a breast reduction in '75 to a small size, have now " grown " to a double d. I wish you the best with taking it. I know others in our group swear by and some swear at it, but that is what makes us unique in that we share information and make our decisions by being informed. +\:=) Jan in CA --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
