Re: elavil-and scary new symptom

[Guest guest]

,

I totally understand your frustration. I'm up to 75mg of elavil, and

as far as i can tell, it's done nothing. I do know this drug's worked

for lots of women, but i guess some of us are trickier than others

And along the same lines-for everyone-i recently started using the

topical amitrip-baclofen cream stuff, and upped my dose of elavil to

75mg (i'm supposed to step up to 100mg ultimately), and for the past

3-4 days, I've been shivering. It's nothing to do with bloodsugar,

i've done everything in that regard to fix it, and working out helps a

little, but not much. has anyone else ever noticed this with their

elavil/ami-bac? And I know I should take this to a pharmacist, and I

will, but is it safe to step back down? I want to step back to 50mg

(even though it did nothing for my pain-not that the 75mg is doing

much, either), but I don't want to do some damage in that regard, ya know?
