Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Finding a good sleep aid is very hard sometimes. I was on elavil for a short period and had nothing but grief. I fell asleep quickly for a couple nights, but the next day I would have splitting headaches. I took the elavil a few more days to see if I could get to tolerate it and soon my dosage and an elevated dosage failed to make me the least bit drowsy. Needless to say I stopped taking it and my doctor has recommended resteril. Has anyone heard of that?
