Guest guest Posted December 22, 2000 Report Share Posted December 22, 2000 Hey Todd, Maybe 'gently' (LOL) mention that Elavil helps my tremors - use my name if you want, have your Dr. email or call me. I think some Drs. are skeptical when a medication primarily used for something else has other good effects as well. Elavil is an anti-depressant. It is also known to reduce nerve pain.' I felt a difference in 4 days. But, I need to say I am an instant responder to most meds. I'd say more like a few weeks I think to notice an effect. Alisha, on this list has been taking it. Alisha, how long did it take for you to feel relief from pain using Elavil? I'd be interested to know. Todd, I think I started with 50mg Elavil, a babysize dose. Then the Dr. and I played around with 75 and 100 and back down to 50 then 25. I seem to do quite well with good results anywhere 50-100 at night. It CAN make you sleepy, so I just take it at night. It can make you have a dry mouth, drink some water, chew some gum. Simple things. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Is Elavil the same as amitriptyline? Seems like I read this in the information literature I got when when I first started taking it. This has helped me alot. For one I seem to be sleeping alot better. Much more rested. in Nebraska ----, yes amitriptyline is the generic name for Elavil. Elavil has some other names too; for those living out of the U.S. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
